90 points – James Suckling
“This is dark-fruited with notes of spiced walnuts and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied with depth and richness to its succulent fruit and creamy tannins. Spiced and slightly chalky at the end. Vegan.”
Why We Love It
It’s bold but smooth, familiar but expressive. This is the kind of wine that gets opened on a Wednesday and finishes before dinner’s even on the table. A go-to Cabernet that delivers real varietal character and drinkability—no bells, no whistles, just well-made wine at an exceptional price.
About the Winery
Finca Martha is a revitalized estate in San Rafael, Mendoza, acquired by the Barale family in 2001. The winery focuses on producing approachable, fruit-forward wines that highlight the purity of Mendoza’s high-altitude vineyards. This Cabernet delivers varietal character with broad appeal.
Region & Vineyards
Sourced from vineyards in Mendoza’s Uco Valley and surrounding areas, where warm sunny days and cool nights allow Cabernet to ripen slowly and evenly. The high elevation (900–1200m) promotes freshness, bright fruit, and natural acidity, while alluvial soils add structure and depth.
Cabernets from Mendoza are known for their dark berry fruit, herbal notes like mint or eucalyptus, and a firm yet polished tannin structure. The best examples strike a balance between New World generosity and Old World finesse, often showing hints of spice, graphite, and dried herbs layered over rich plum and cassis fruit.
What Sets it Apart
Classic Mendoza elevation: warm days, cool nights, vibrant fruit
No heavy oak—just fresh, pure Cabernet character
Designed for drinkability, with enough structure to satisfy
