The Dávalos Family has crafted Tacuil Wines since the early 1800’s, passing their secrets and knowledge to each new generation. Fourth-generation owner, Raúl Dávalos, truly elevated the concept of terroir, exploring and cultivating high-elevation vineyards, believing that these climates are optimal for the creation of ultra premium wines. The road to Tacuil winds skyward into the mountains to just over 8,200 feet where you will find the highest elevation estate vineyards in the world. Tacuil is a place of incredible natural beauty, blessed with a climate that is ideal for the cultivation of wine grapes. It is also one of the rare instances of a winery that has its own appellation (Valle Tacuil). They use no oak, only use wild yeast, and are literally “off the grid.” A singular estate.

Bodegas Tacuil 2011 '33 De Dávalos' (Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon), Molinos
Rating: 93

Bright medium ruby. Aromas of raw cassis, blackberry, licorice pastille and game accented by flowers and pepper. Sweet, highly concentrated, seamless and superripe but fresh too, with nicely integrated acidity and a light peppery quality giving lift to the explosive middle palate. Finishes with sweet, building tannins and superb fruity persistence. This is remarkably rich, pliant and distinctive for a wine made without oak influence. In fact, without the wood element in the way, this communicates a strong impression of soil character
