The Vicente and Pearce families came together when a girl from Mendoza, Argentina met a guy from Buffalo, New York. We started grape farming in 2011 with the purchase of the Azcuénaga Vineyard.
Our focus is on quality single-vineyard red wines that we love to drink and that reflect their origin here in Lunlunta. We are a very small family owned and operated business. We work with our small team to produce around 400 cases per year from the Azcuénaga Vineyard, planted mostly in 1990 at 2,800 feet above sea level in Lunlunta, Maipú in Mendoza, Argentina.
Familia Vicente Pearce Corte Red Blend 2014 features a bright, medium ruby red color. Aromas of red and black currant are quickly followed by cherry, raspberry, white pepper and floral notes. The palate is very well balanced between flavors of cherry, raspberry, hints of currant, blueberry and a medium acidity. Round tannins lean into a clean finish of long, lingering dark berry notes.
