Blackberry cobbler with Swiss cheese! Mint breath, and Rosemary dough. Why are Mendoza cabs so good? They run rings around the Malbecs more often than not. The presumption that each country needs its own varietal to give it meaning, is a misnomer. Sometimes a varietal has so calculatingly written itself into our genetics by rewiring our neural pathways, that any permutation thereof is an epiphany! Abrigado, cabbie, you little virus! Dark, and backberrylicoricious! Mintcurrantacular! A fun wine with a well of shadows! Like Catena, it's cabs take the crown!

V11. Enjoyable. Candied plum nose. Juicy, jammy blackberry and plum fruit. Unique dry, tart , peppery and mineral finish. Nice wine with KC BBQ.

Super high acidity for a Cabernet. Taste is very green and unripe. I've never puckered with a red as much as this one...whoa.
