Sourced from organic grapes in Tupungato, one of Argentina's highest elevation sites (1200 meters), the temperature amplitudes creates a harvest of fully ripened grapes with excellent natural acidity. Elegant and modern in style, this blend of Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon is brimming with plush flavors of dark fruits, blackberry, currant, black cherries with silky smooth tannins and 10 months in new french oak. Fans of rich, full-throttle red blends from Napa and Sonoma, should try this side-by-side with their favorite bottles and be amazed at what you can get for $17.99 from Argentina!
"Gaia, a name that has special resonance for the organic community, is a cuvée of Malbec with Syrah and a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, complex and spicy, it has polished, filigree tannins, subtle oak and impressive palate length. 2022-30" Tim Atkin MW, 93 Points
"Dark red-ruby. Black fruits, licorice, menthol and violet on the nose, accented by a peppery topnote. Plush, savory and fairly full-bodied; a seriously mouthfilling, silky blend with a smoky, gamey, salty Syrah element and no rough edges whatsoever. Noteworthy flavor intensity and depth here, and also more horizontal than the Cabernet and Malbec Reserva bottlings. Finishes very long, with substantial but thoroughly ripe tannins and lingering notes of licorice, spices and violet. These top wines from Domaine Bousquet share a very subtle and successful use of used oak and offer outstanding value in an Old World style." Stephen Tanzer, 92 Points
