Aged 6 months in oak barrels, 14.5% alc. vol.
Now we are in for a nice afternoon.
Price - $22 for the bottle, right in my price range. I feel this is the range that gives the most bang for buck.
Nose - Great sweet grape smell (duhh right, but this ones to the moon). Low tannin smell, but you can easily detect its value. Last value is floral, and its the undertone. Very little alcohol to smell.
Taste - The grape nose becomes the undertone, being moved behind the tannins. The florals come steadily, with it being that last taste you have, then nice soft tannins again. Distinctly unalcoholic, which allows me to taste the notes better.
Grade - 8
It's hard to beat the value and what you get for it. Great red that would pair well with and tomato based sauce and fatty meat. Would overpower any other food i.e. fish This wine should be in your go to wine holder.
You went Argentinian on me. I'll have to give it a try. I think I'll try a Texas red tomorrow or Thursday. There are 'for sale in Tx only' wines here that if good, i'll ship.
