"A deep red blend with rich aromas of black berries. Rich, smooth and elegant with a lingering finish given by the integration of the wine's three varietals." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This has a rich, polished nose of blackcurrant, stewed blackberry, licorice and mocha. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Ripe and concentrated with gorgeous depth and smoothness. 40% malbec, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot. Drink from 2022." —James Suckling "The 2018 Privada Family Blend Norton is a blend of 40% Malbec, 30% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from Luján de Cuyo and was aged for 16 months in French barrels. Dark purple in the glass, the nose offers notes of fresh plum, mint and violets with white pepper and secondary woody notes such as cedar and vanilla. Intense on the palate, it’s juicy with fine, still reactive tannins that will evolve to lend a velvety texture." —Vinous "The 2018 Privada Family Blend is a blend of 40% Malbec and 30% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from vineyards in Luján de Cuyo. It's classical, barrel aged and ripe with a dense and juicy texture and plenty of tannins that call for food. It has pungent and deep flavors of ripe fruit and spice and leaves a balsamic sensation on the palate. The tannins are chalky. 250,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2019." —Wine Advocate |
