Sebastian San Martin Buena Vida Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
About the wine
This ruby red Argentinian Cab Sav is giving Napa and Bordeaux a run for their money
-
Sebastian has been making top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon for famous Argentinian brands like François Lurton and Argento for many years, but this is the first time he’s had the chance to make one with his own name on the label.
-
Argentina is a sleeping monster when it comes to Cab Sav. You can find world-class Cabernet here for a bargain. And the finest examples combine the boldness and intensity of Napa with the elegance and structure of Bordeaux.
-
Seb’s dark ruby, super-concentrated Cab has heaps of cassis and herbaceousness on the nose and palate. Flavours of black cherry and black forest gateau leap out, and oak characters like tobacco and vanilla linger on the finish. It’s fresh, aromatic and intense, with good structure and a complex after-taste. Seems that sleeping monster has just woken up...

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sebastian San Martin
- Sebastián San Martín is a name you probably haven’t heard before. But we can bet you have tasted one of his wines. He’s worked for some of the biggest wineries in Argentina like Francois Lurton and Argento, learning top tips from some of the world’s best consultant winemakers along the way.
- After years of being the guy behind the label, Sebastián is thrilled to finally see his name on the bottle. He’s using Angel funding to source grapes from small, family-run vineyards - to show you the ’real’ Malbec. If you’ve only ever drunk mass-produced Malbec that’s been oaked to within an inch of its life, his wines will be a revelation.
- Sebastián says “I’m so enthusiastic. I have so many things in my head about what we can do. There are many things to be discovered in Argentina, it’s a very special place. To have the chance to show these special grapes and places and history at a valuable price is an honour” - the honour is all ours Sebastián.
