Caro

Bodegas CARO is a winery based in Mendoza, Argentina. It is a joint venture between Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and the Catena family, the title coming from the first two letters of the Catena (CA) and Rothschild (RO) family names. The enterprise was founded in 1999, and makes a small range of wines that combine Argentina's key grape variety, Malbec, with Bordeaux's Cabernet Sauvignon. The CARO vineyards occupy high-altitude terroirs in Luján de Cuyo, Maipú and the Uco Valley. These range from 2600ft (800m) above sea level in Luján de Cuyo up to 5400ft (1600m) in the Uco Valley. This has proved particularly suitable for Malbec, producing balanced, intense wines. 

This wine has a dark and intense color. The nose reveals aromas of dark fruit such as blackcurrant and blueberry. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced with a good concentration and persistent freshness. The ripe and well-integrated tannins contribute to the harmonious feel of this wine. The finish is smooth with subtle notes of oak.
