“Kravitz still has a knack for finding good wines at great prices” – Robert Parker, Parker on Wine, BusinessWeek, 8/20 & 27, 2007
Notro
2008 Sangiovese/Bonarda
Named after the native flower of the same name that is often found growing in Andean mountain meadows in the southern spring, Notro is the first HPS-owned brand from Argentina. It has been extremely well-received in the marketplace, and has quietly taken off as one of the fastest-growing brands in HPS history.
Tasting Notes: Offers aromas of ripe, red berries on the nose. Medium bodied on the palate, with soft, supple tannins and plenty of juicy, red fruit flavors.
Serve With: The perfect everyday accompaniment to pizza and pasta dishes, and Latin American favorites including empanadas and roasted pork shoulder.
Vineyards
Grapes were sourced from the Las Mercedes vineyard, located in Santa Rosa, in the eastern portion of Mendoza, at nearly 2,500 ft above sea level. Las Mercedes is characterized by low annual precipitation, excellent exposure to sunlight, and great differences in day/night temperatures - this yields wines of intense color, concentration and flavor.
