Gran Mascota Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon

Ostensibly made from fruit but buried under 18 months of the most aggressive and astringent French oak as to unrecognizable as such. Fruit thin, watery, and a bit green, with a firm burnt caramel/burnt anise-laced tannin grip. Alcohol is present throughout. I do not like to be so negative but this is not good.

Rich, decadent, delicious. Big backbone and a balance not typically found with this much fruit. Love it as always.

High acidity and fruity sweetness (cassis). Some vanilla and pepper. Very good. Excellent value for money.

Another great Cab from Argentina that flies under the radar. Try it you’ll like it.

Similaire à son petit frère avec un touche de complexité supplémentaire. Encore du côté fruité un peu dans le corsé quand même.

Great value. TW13

Costco Puerto Vallarta under $15. Great tasting wine at this price point.

At home. Bought at Costco Cabo and brought back to CA. Wasn’t impressed.

Another Cabo Costco find for about $10.50. I think this is the most value oriented wine that I have found this year.

Soft note of blackberries and leather with a decent lasting taste, deep red color, smooth to take in, well blended. Let it breathe for about half an hour then it should be quite enjoyable for a $30 bottle (phnom penh)
