What reviewers say
“Va un puntito más solo porque lo pague algo de 2 dólares porque el Chino amigo estaba de remate jajaj. Y encima con una evolución ideal. Con más de 5 años de evolución está en su punto junto. Un cs gran tipicidad y perfil frutal-especiado.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Enjoy spicy hints of thyme and peppery herbs typical of Cabs, this dark-hued, garnet colored wine is elegant and concentrated, with lots of structure and outstanding tannins.
Altos del Plata Cabernet Sauvignon is an Argentine red from Lujan de Cuyo. The cheapest 750 ml listing found for it is $11.99, which puts the bottle in the under $15 band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 481 other reds from Argentina, not against the corpus as a whole. 2,333 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 2,430 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Altos del Plata Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Argentina (482 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,333.
