Sipping Fine Wine

Vineyards are located in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina, in area at 33º South latitude, with a continental climate. Deep dark Ruby with fresh fruit and citrus notes, aged in French oak. On the palate strawberry and berry fruit flavors, sweet vanilla spice, cacao and oak. Soft fine tannins on lingering finish ending with mineral and earthy tones. Nice value.

Had another bottle in the cellar, aged well. Ruby with spicy, floral red fruit aromas. The palate shows cherries and raspberries with a sweet tang, refined soft tannins and overall good balance. Finish is medium+ length and showing pepper, cacao and mineral notes on ending.

All spice, no fruit. Smooth finish. Good after dinner wine.

Light aromas of nuts and cherry on the nose. Good mouthfeel with vibrant fruit and a light oak finish. Definitely on the favorite list.

Decent wine. Slight oak taste. Not very fruity but full bodied.
