An Argentina blend that is 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Malbec, 19% Petit Verdot and 10% Tannat. Purple/ruby in color. This took some time to open and though not necessarily better on Day 2, it was different. The nose is dust with cherries, plums and an herbal note (tarragon?). On day 2, it went more to black and blue fruits. The palate has black cherries and plums with underlying dry earth and baking spice. On Day 2, again it picks up more plums but also blueberries. Tannins really come out on Day 2. This win should match well with grilled and roasted meats and other hearty foods. It should be good for a decade but seems like it should change in profile with the Malbec more present in its youth and the Tannat and Petite Verdot coming out more as it ages. This retails for around $30.
