Years later a vintner returning to his abandoned vineyard found the new vine, tasted its grapes and fell in love. The label tells the story as an allegory: the fox, with the attributes of Cardinal Richelieu, is Cabernet Franc; the siren, part woman and part bird, is Sauvignon Blanc; and their child, Cabernet Sauvignon, is a world traveller who journeys from the French Pyrenees to the Catena Zapata pyramid at the foothills of the Andes. Crafted by Alejandro Vigil from the La Pirámide Vineyard in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, at 950 meters above sea level, it is hand harvested, fermented in concrete eggs, small stainless-steel tanks and French oak roll-fermentors, and aged 18 to 24 months in French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Deep, opaque purple, it opens with black cherry, blackberry and dark fruit layered with cedar, tobacco leaf, a hint of black olive and balsamic spice.
