Finca Flichman Cabernet
Mendoza Cabernet since 1910, poured in Commack for decades.
The story behind Finca Flichman
Don Sami Flichman left Lodz, Poland and planted vines in Mendoza in 1910. The estate sits on two very different pieces of ground: the alluvial beds of Barrancas in southern Maipu, roughly 2,300 feet up, and the high slopes of Tupungato in the Uco Valley near 3,600 feet. The warm lower site gives structure and ripe fruit, the cold high site gives acidity and lift.
Portugal's Sogrape group, the Guedes family, bought Finca Flichman in 1998 and modernized the cellars. Farming is certified under the Bodegas de Argentina sustainability protocols, with solar power and reduced irrigation. Oak aging runs from four months on the entry labels to a year or more in French oak up the range.

Which Finca Flichman is right for you?
The entry point is the Roble Cabernet at $7.99, and at that money it is one of the better red values on our Argentine shelf. Step to the Reserve Cabernet at $15.99 for the cedar and bell pepper spine that makes Mendoza Cabernet worth cellaring a year or two. The Tupungato bottling runs $19.98 and shows what the high elevation fruit does. Malbec and Merlot sit at $10.99 each if you want the same house in a softer register.
