    Introducing Bodegas Caro 2019, a true testament to the artistry of winemaker Pablo Serrano. This remarkable Caro Mendoza wine hails from the prestigious vineyards nestled in the foothills of the Andes mountains in Mendoza, Argentina. Renowned as the best wine producing region in the country, Mendoza’s elevated plateaux, ranging from 800 to 1200 meters above sea level, impart exceptional character to its wines.

    CARO vineyard, located in Altamira, Uco Valley, South of Mendoza, sits on an ancient alluvial bed of the Tunuyan River. At an altitude of 1000 meters, the vines bask in the ideal combination of sun exposure and wide temperature variations, leading to the creation of outstanding grapes.

    Crafted with the utmost care reminiscent of Bordeaux Grands Crus, Bodegas Caro selects grapes from specific sections within their vineyard, where calcareous deposits and limestone remnants from the ancient riverbed contribute to the soil’s unique composition. Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo a meticulous vinification process.

    Pouring into the glass, Bodegas Caro 2019 reveals a deep red hue, captivating the eye with its richness and depth. The complex nose entices with an enticing blend of red fruits and figs, gracefully leading into alluring aromas of blackcurrant, a signature of this extraordinary vintage.

    On the palate, this wine unfolds as a harmonious symphony. Its rounded texture and soft tannins envelop the senses, unveiling generous notes of blueberry and blackberry. The flavors intertwine elegantly, showcasing the wine’s impeccable balance. With each sip, Bodegas Caro 2019 reveals its vibrant personality and depth, leaving a lasting impression. The finish lingers gracefully, a testament to the wine’s well-crafted structure.

    This extraordinary vintage has garnered acclaim from esteemed critics, reflecting its exceptional quality. Wine Spectator awards Bodegas Caro 2019 an impressive 93 points, while Robert Parker bestows it with 94 points. James Suckling, with his discerning palate, awards an outstanding 95 points, recognizing the wine’s excellence.

    In the hands of winemaker Pablo Serrano, Bodegas Caro 2019 embodies the passion and dedication poured into every bottle. With its deep red color, complex aromas, and captivating taste, this wine stands as a true testament to the legacy of Bodegas Caro and their commitment to crafting exceptional wines.

    1. Robert Paulson –

      Beautiful stuff; nice balance, tannins woven into a harmonious blend, eminently drinkable now, good for a few years at least, Good, but not the 98 I see on the bottle, 92-94

    2. Wanda Stroud –

      Rich bouquet of floral and spice. Complex palate with long finish. Dark berries and spices. Subtle oak and tannins. This is going to be a super wine in a few years. It was great tonight but we will hold the rest for special occasions. It is already one of my favorites.

    3. Melissa Nolan –

      Smooth and savory young wine with intense nose of oak, prune, butter, and dark berries. Full-bodied and fruity with a long finish of oak, cedar, and butter. Best glasses of recent drinking. 94+/100.

    4. Leon Butler –

      Soft tannins, cacao powder, milk chocolate and red meat. 98 points. Less interesting than Cheval des Andes.

    5. Edna Barnhart –

      Structured new world wine with old world backbone. Bordeaux style with pencil, lead and dark fruit notes. Minimal evolution post 1.5 hr decant. Longer finish would have increased rating.

    6. Wayne Tenorio –

      Dark purple with violet edges. Aroma of coffee and blackberries. Mid-palate offers blackberries and blueberries, with coffee at the end. Sweet texture. Could be mistaken for an Aussie Shiraz. Not my style, but good.

    7. Erica Brown –

      Great nose, ready to drink now. Decant for an hour. Keep the other bottle for aging.

    8. Jason Mcclanahan –

      Delicious, savory wine with black pepper, charcoal, and roasted fruit palate. Maturing, balsamic nose with good balancing acidity.

    9. Anthony May –

      Aging might improve it, but it’s good as it is.

    10. Ruth Brennan –

      Impressive wine, high alcohol. Decanted for 2 hours. Tastes of oak, raisins, dark chocolate, dry chalky finish. Paired with Hungarian Goulash, worked well with sweet paprika.

    11. David Brown –

      Full-bodied, high ABV wine with earthy notes of mushroom, sour cherries, tobacco, and cocoa. Mildly tannic, dry, and will last for a while. Enjoyed with grilled lamb. High QPR.

    12. Brian Whitfill –

      Goodman’s: Rich nose of red fruits and tobacco. Smooth deep palate. Nice.

    13. Dorothy Reyes –

      St Regis Singapore’s ST Wine Fair: Reserved with good structure and aging potential.

    14. Patrick Lay –

      75% Malbec blend with dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. Balanced acidity and tannins. Bone dry with a sweet finish. Elegant and satisfying with a smoothness that hides the 15% alcohol.

    15. Michelle Casey –

      Caro boasts a Bordeaux-like earthiness with olives and dried leaves. The fruit takes a back seat to the savoriness. Full body, grippy tannins, and assertive acidity provide good balance. Complex finish.

    16. Marina Bell –

      Dark color, notes of dark fruit, coffee, cocoa, smoke, and tobacco. Big, heavy, mineral, good acidity, rich fruit, round tannins, tart finish. Keep. 90-91+.

    17. Emily Kearney –

      Dark and intense color, with a hint of blue fruits and smoke. Medium body, fine tannins, and a short finish. Good value for money.

    18. Kathleen Cox –

      Nice Malbec flavor, unsure of potential. Not worth £30 compared to other options.

    19. Chris Johnson –

      Elegant, restrained with deep fruit. Long complex finish. Good stuff.

    20. James Wilson –

      Promising wine. Young, upfront, and chewy with two heavyweight grapes working together. Powerful.

    21. Elizabeth Grant –

      50/50 blend of Malbec and Cabernet. Needs time to open up. Improved on Day 2. Purple color, medium finish.

    22. John Seal –

      Elegant and unusual. Time will improve integration of hibiscus. Voluptuous yet lithe. Back end tannin softening would help with age. Guests impressed.

    23. Jonnie Rodriguez –

      Supple, rich, smooth, full-bodied with fruity and woody notes. Well-balanced and elegant with a sweet, yummy taste. Long finish and excellent value for money.

    24. Shaun Paya –

      Fresh fruit with big & dark flavors. Needs more time. Catena for the Front, Rothschild for the back.

    25. Marie Mendoza –

      Elegant full body, improved with air, ready to drink and very enjoyable.

    26. Buddy Fontenot –

      Excellent, consistent taste.

    27. Bridget Langlinais –

      Enjoyable, light sweetness, modern, great.

    28. Henry Batarse –

      Deep ruby with a deliciously ripe raspberry nose and a red fruit confit taste, albeit one-dimensional.

    29. Gloria Stahlberg –

      Dark inky purple with a sweet, perfumed aroma. Tastes great with fatty foods, bitter on the front with slight tannins and fruit on the finish. Short finish with coffee and plum acidity. Overall, an awesome wine that’s excellent on its own and with food. 4.5/5.

    30. Howard Mchenry –

      Best on Day 2. Creme de cassis, tobacco, cherry liqueur, earth. Fine tannins. Medium acid. Long finish. Touch hot, but still good. Drink now with a decant; can hold until 2023.

    31. Jacqueline Swanson –

      “Requires aeration and pairs well with food. Great choice.”

    32. Brian Diaz –

      Complex and interesting blend of 50% Malbec and 50% Cab. Aromatics are kicked up from mica soils. Salty spice and minerality on the nose with ripe fruit and spice on the palate. Delicious.

    33. Benjamin Washington –

      2015 Caro: 85% Malbec, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep aromas of blackberries, red plums, tobacco, eucalyptus, spices, loam, and dried violets. Full-bodied, velvety, concentrated with balanced sweetness and acidity. Ages well.

    34. Ian Foster –

      Consistent quality, highly enjoyable.

    35. Renee Lewis –

      Coravin Tasting (new bottle) – Dark purple wine with complex aromas of blackberry, green pepper, leather, tobacco, and chocolate. Soft, balanced, and elegant with delicious flavors. High-quality wine with a sunny twist. Pricey but worth it for the complexity and suppleness.

    36. Gregory Schweitzer –

      Solid.

    37. Jean Eisman –

      Big, bold and balanced, with a complex mid-palate and a pleasant finish. A seductive wine that you’ll keep reaching for.

    38. Leslie Tucker –

      Great improvement from the last bottle. Subdued nose, smooth fruit and tannins with a lovely finish. Can’t wait for the next bottle.

    39. James Davenport –

      Bold and powerful, plush and peppery with plum and cocoa overtones. Not to be mistaken for old world.

    40. Cecile Poore –

      Needs air, but great wine after.

    41. Thomas Martin –

      Deliciously soft with notes of red fruits, jelly and spices.

    42. Bernard Freeman –

      Enjoyable wine with blueberry, blackcurrant, and vanilla aromas. Soft tannins, well-rounded, and a touch of acidity on the finish.

    43. Brandon Dietlin –

      Excellent!

    44. Michael Williams –

      Improved from 18 months ago. Cassis aroma, earthy flavor with fine tannins and masculine character. A perfect blend of Catena and Lafite.

    45. James Berrian –

      Dry with blackberry notes and a long, earthy finish.

    46. Frank Muni –

      Overpriced, not exceptional.

    47. Rebecca Carter –

      2016 needs more aging. 2015 is better.

    48. John Moore –

      Deep and rich, this Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Uco Valley is a full-bodied delight with notes of red fruit, cassis and blackberries. Only 300 cases made. 92 points. On sale for $25.

    49. Jeffry Dake –

      Silky, opulent, and rich with a lovely long finish. Great straight from the bottle.

    50. Douglas Mitchell –

      Rich ruby with hints of pink. Black fruit, leather, and cedar with tobacco, vanilla, and spice. Silky tannins and a clean finish.

    51. Nicholas Sims –

      Good wine with redcurrant, green bell pepper, and smoky notes. Dry, with high acidity and medium tannins. Suitable for bottle aging.

    52. Janie Elliott –

      Balanced and food-friendly, this wine fills the mouth with a medium finish. Not comparable, but enjoyed after two 96-point Napa cabs.

    53. Jason Butler –

      Great malbec blend, perfect match for fatty ribeye and special cuts at 7% in Seoul. Decant recommended for next time.

    54. Wendy Arthur –

      Balanced and accessible. Medium-bodied with integrated tannins and refreshing acidity. Perfect with food.

    55. Craig Mohr –

      Sorry, I cannot rewrite the review as you have not provided me with the original review or any details about what needs to be rewritten. Please provide me with more information so I can assist you better.

    56. Juan James –

      Catena-Rothschild’s Malbec blend aged in French oak for 18 months. Rich aroma of berries, smoke, and cloves with a smooth, concentrated, and velvety texture. Bold tannins with a lengthy finish.

    57. Regina Bozell –

      Cabernet Sauvignon dominant vintage with high, ripe tannins. Needs time to cellar and air before drinking. Potential for higher rating in 3-5 years.

    58. Mamie Williams –

      Disappointing. Soft fruity taste, low acidity, medium finish. Drink now or over next 5 years.

    59. Ronald Roper –

      Great value wine with ripe tannins, cassis, black fruits, vanilla, clove, smoke, charred wood, leather, and tobacco. Beautifully integrated oak with complexity and concentration.

    60. William Couch –

      Young wine with primary fruits of plum, dark berries, chocolate, and oak notes. Palate lacks balance and smoothness, but has potential for future revisits.

    61. Ron Lopez –

      2022 Alaska cruise wine tasting: A delightful experience for wine lovers.

    62. Francis Bleau –

      Jammy fruit followed by minerality and crushed stone. Not as subtle as I prefer, but a pleasant wine.

    63. Janet Thomas –

      Expected more, disappointing.

    64. James Niese –

      Bottle was flawed, not consumed at group dinner.

    65. Curtis Marshall –

      Smooth but forgettable.

    66. William Andrews –

      Nose: black currant, black cherry, tobacco, smoke, cedar, soil. Palate: peppery spiciness. Great length, great purity. Worthy of two producers.

    67. Otis Porter –

      Delicious and elegant with refined tannins. Needs more time to mature.

    68. Victor Mueller –

      Smooth wine with medium fruit notes, hints of spice and vanilla, and a pleasant finish.

    69. Herman Bonner –

      Plush and user-friendly style Malbec-Cabernet blend. Velvety smooth, full and rounded palate with dark fruits and light grip. Good length.

    70. Kevin Hutchinson –

      Dark cherry color. Round nose. Cherry, woody and spicy flavors. Rounded tannins, smooth wine, ready to drink. Beautiful wine.

    71. Scott Shirey –

      90 after 1-hour decant, fabulous after 24 hours.

    72. Amanda Aaron –

      Smooth blend with resolved tannins and dark fruit notes.

    73. Lance Sparks –

      Young wine with fruity notes. Improved in complexity on the second day. Recommend decanting for 2 hours or wait 2-4 years. Rated 92 pts.

    74. Maria Spencer –

      Light wine, needs decanting and aging till 2026. Not recommended for purchase.

    Wine Spectator
    Elegantly styled, with lovely notes of plumeria and cocoa nibs clinging to lush blackberry and cherry flavors, which are buoyed by fresh acidity midpalate and fan out around fine tannins. Ends with notes of slate and spice. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2032.
    WA 94
    Wine Advocate
    The serious, balanced and quite complete 2019 Caro was made with 64% Malbec and 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and produced in a classical style. It's a wine with ripeness, Mendoza sun and Bordeaux elegance and subtleness. It feels harmonious and integrated, with 14.5% alcohol and good balancing freshness. It matured in French barriques and 4,200-liter oak foudre for 14 months, which was a shorter élevage and using larger-volume containers to achieve neatly integrated oak. It's complex, clean and elegant, and the palate reveals a velvety texture with juicy fruit and round tannins.
    JS 95
    James Suckling
    Chocolatey, cedary oak with truffles and tobacco here. While there is a lot of oak to flatter at this stage, it still delivers restraint, bearing and class. Keep smelling and you'll find scented, dark lead pencil, meaty spices, fine blackberries and a hint of tar. Ripe and rich, but nuanced, with more complexity that takes time to fully uncoil. Really silky, precise and polished tannins, loaded with some fruit sweetness on the palate, then extending to the finish that lasts a minute. Drinkable now, but better to hold.

    Cabernet Sauvignon - Malbec Blend

    Cabernet Sauvignon - Malbec

    Cabernet Sauvignon - Malbec is a distinctive blend of two renowned red grape varieties, each with a rich heritage rooted in the Bordeaux region of France. While Cabernet Sauvignon continues to be a staple in Bordeaux, Malbec has gained prominence in the elevated vineyards of Argentina, where it contributes to creating robust, tannic wines replete with a spectrum of red and black fruit flavors. The blend's character and flavor profiles are largely influenced by the proportion of each grape variety. In blends where Malbec is dominant, the aroma often includes floral notes of violets, complemented by dark plum scents and a hint of gaminess. On the palate, these wines offer deep flavors of dark fruits with a subtle, rustic edge. Conversely, when Cabernet Sauvignon takes precedence, the...Please check Cabernet Sauvignon - Malbec for more information
