Purple in color with ruby swirls. The nose has cassis, cherries, bell pepper and slight spice. On the palate, this is a bit candied (cherry) with some fresh cherries. There is no bell pepper on the palate. Medium finish. This is an easy drinking red that is a nice value. It should be drunk in the next three to five years. Pairs nicely with pasta or pizza.
This comes in a 3 liter box and before anyone scoffs, boxed wine is one of the best containers for drinking wine that doesn't need ageing. It keeps an open "bottle' good for a long time. This is a great value for the person who wants a glass of a hearty red and might drink the box over the course of a month. The box doesn't carry a vintage designation but this is from the 2019 harvest. Purple/ruby in color. Mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cassis, black cherries and slight bitter boysenberry note. On the palate, this isn't super ripe but there aren't any green flavors
Another great value from Domaine Bousquet made from organic grapes. Carnet in color, purple at the core, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, coffee and smoke. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Nice balance. On the palate, cassis, black cherries with some depth. Fresh and energetic. Long finish. This drinks well on its own and would work well with a steak off the grill. Drink over the next five years.
This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has cassis and a slight herbal note. Medium tannins. Nice acidity. On the palate, cassis with a bit of char and the slight herbal note to make it interesting. This is easy drinking on its own and will work well with ribs or burgers off the grill. A nice value.
This is an unoaked Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina. It provides excellent value. Screw capped. Ruby/purple in color, clear and bright. The nose has cassis, black cherries, and sandalwood.
