"The 2021 Garnacha Gloria S. from Los Chacayes, Uco Valley opens with dried flowers and a faint herbal touch reminiscent of hops, framed by cherry and confit tomato. Lean and tense, with subtle whole-cluster grip and a refreshing lift, it shows greater depth than other Garnachas from the estate. Stylistically aligned with modern Garnachas of Spain, the 2021 gains in complexity with air."

"#33 Top 100 Wines of 2025: The nose reveals crystalline purity with nectarines and dried hibiscus water. The palate is subtle and elegant, featuring dissolved tannins, incisive acidity and a concentrated, lingering finish. Drink now."
