Areyna Cabernet Sauvignon, Luján de Cuyo Argentina 2024.
South American cabs are hit and miss for me. This one is a hit. Too easy to drink, plenty of ripe fruit and not overly oaked. Bright acidity in balance with pleasing tannins. Yeah, I'd definitely do this again with friends and steaks.

This wine doesn't scream Napa, but it's very nice. And a bargain. Sharp acid cuts through soft berries and tasteful oak influences. This is one to try again with some marbled steak.

On this week's episode of wines I've never seen... Apparently everyone bought this at Costco but I got it at my corner shop. It's pretty solid, checks all the malbec boxes. Doesn't stain my teeth.

Sydney, the guy at my corner liquor store gave me this bottle. He doesn't drink 😀 and he wanted my opinion. I guess other customers said it was bad. I don't think it's flawed, it's just not very good. Initially it tastes like water. So flat and lifeless. Interestingly enough, if you swirl it around in your mouth for 20 seconds, it becomes a little ok. Water to wine, like the wedding at Cana. This is more words than I've written about wines I love.

Better than the first time I had this, and it was definitely because of the right food and good company.
