There’s a lot of noise in Mendoza right now. Amidst the dizzying prices of cult-status icons, Lagarde has lofty ambitions for what twenty(ish) bucks should taste like, and we’re all-in.
“This wine, an excellent value, is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, all from vineyards in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo. It is fruity and juicy with good texture and firm, taut tannins. It is perfect for a barbecue, though it is perhaps a bit too serious for its price range… This one is for more discerning drinkers.”

Bodega Lagarde is one of Argentina’s oldest wineries; they’ve been farming the high-altitude soils of Luján de Cuyo since 1897. It was acquired in 1969 by the Pescarmona family, and the third generation, sisters, Sofia and Lucila run it today. Their style reflects a strong commitment to the land and its people, inviting others into their world, shaped by a reverence for great wine and family.
With their ‘Teia’ project, they’ve tossed out the heavy oak and let the raw beauty of their Perdriel vineyards speak for itself in a co-fermented Cabernet blend that is thrillingly alive with high-altitude tension, dried florals, and pure dark fruit.
This ambitious, affordable Cabernet sensation is ready for whatever September throws your way. Don’t let it slip by.
