Pyros Special Blend 2014

Score: 90 Robert Parker

Rooted in the Pedernal terroir, Pyros Wines, from Bodegas Salentein, is the first wine brand exclusively from the Pedernal Valley, and the first specialized in high-end wines from the province of San Juan.

They are cold climate wines and distinctive prehistoric calcareous soil of the Pedernal Valley. They have an intense and deep color, great aromatic expression with a profile of black fruits, aromatic herbs and spices. At the same time, they present a good concentration, excellent natural acidity, fine tannin texture and great character. Unique wines with a wild imprint, elegant and complex.

It is a wine that, due to its color characteristics, indicates a great concentration. On the nose it is extremely complex, with fresh fruity aromas from the Malbec, accompanied by balsamic sensations provided by the Syrah and all the elegance of the Cabernet Sauvignon. The notes of wood give it more elegance and complexity. On the palate it stands out for being an extremely balanced and persistent wine, which stands out for its complexity, without giving up the freshness that characterizes the wines from the Pedernal Valley.
