White or Red: Red
Grape(s): Cab-Sav
Origin: Mendoza, Argentina
Vintage: 2009
Price: Stupid Low, $9.98
Overall:
Smells like the ripe dark red fruits with vanilla and a hint of smokey fire in the background. I get a taste of ripe blueberry and cherry that balance so well together. What's more is the feeling you get when you have it in your mouth for a second; it's velvety, soft and sophisticated.
In addition to making great wine, the winery is committed to sustainable farming methods and social welfare programs.
If you have paid attention to Semi Pro with any regularity, you've probably noted the amount of wine we've reviewed from Argentina. This region is making great wines at a price that really makes sense for a lot of people. In wine lingo, the QPR (Quality Price Ratio) for wines from Mendoza or Argentina, in general, is absolutely in your favor. Behind the Luigi Bosca from the same region, this one is top dog.
