Nico by Luca 2020

- 96 points -

This Nico by Luca Rosas Vineyard is a massal selection from century-old vines in La Consulta that winemaker Luis Reginato planted in the Gualtallary highlands, at an altitude of about 1,550 meters. The vines cover just 1.5 hectares and are now 15 years old. The 2020 season was warm throughout Mendoza and some of that heat is evident here, yet it also seems to be moderated by the altitude of the vineyard and the influence of the Andes. It’s a wine with firm acidity, succulent flavors, and sharp tannins. And it’s definitely one for the cellar.
