2018 Domaine Bousquet Cabernet Franc Gaïa Gualtallary Vineyards, Argentina, Uco Valley, Tupungato, Wine Review

This is 100% Cabernet Franc using organic grapes. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has plums and black raspberries with some char. Light tannins. On the palate, this has a lovely texture. Black raspberry fruit with slight black cherry fruit. Plenty of depth. Long finish. This is really delicious. Drinking well now, it should continue to drink well for the next ten to twelve years. Great on its own, this would work well with a wide range of foods from pizza to pork to beef tenderloin. Nice value.

This is an organically grown, relatively inexpensive Malbec from Argentina. Purple/ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cherries and baking spices. With air, some black cherries. On the palate, nice black cherry fruit, some plums and a bit of char. Medium tannins. Good acidity. This is a dry wine with just a perception of ripeness/sweetness. Good finish. This will be a popular wine to serve at cookouts with burgers off the grill. Drink over the next three to five years.

Made from Organic grapes. This is 85% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Syrah, and 5% Merlot. Inky purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright. The nose has black cherries, plums, baking spices and slight char. Tannic. Tart acidity. On the palate, plums and black raspberries with some spice. This needs a couple of years to integrate and then should drink well for eight to ten. If opening now, give it a few hours of air. This drinks well on its own but will go well with grilled meats.

I will admit that upon seeing the front label "Organic Kosher" (for Passover) from Argentina, I was a bit skeptical. However, realizing it was made by Domaine Bousquet, my hopes were higher and sure enough, this is a very nice wine. L'Chayim (to life)! which is also what A La Vida means in Spanish. Purple in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is light but nice with plums, cherries and slight pepper. With air it become more pronounced. Medium tannins. On the palate, black cherries, plums and some anise and ash on the finish. A hint of sweetness. Easily the best organic, koshe

This is a blend of 35% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc. It is certified organic. Purple in color with ruby swirls. Mostly opaque and bright. The nose has black cherries and slight char. On the palate, medium to full bodied. Raspberries and black raspberries. Firm tannins. Long finish. This drinks easy with no bite. Clean. This drinks well now and should drink well for the next five to eight years. Tasty on its own, this will work well with beef or pork dishes. Really a tremendous value in organic wines.

This comes in a 3 liter box. The beauty of the box is that the wine is deprived of oxygen enabling the consumer to drink it over a long period of time. This box was sampled initially in June, repeatedly thru the summer, and again in October. There was no noticeable degradation. This is the type of wine made for the person who wants an occasional glass of wine (or a wine to be used in cooking too) that is still good. I sampled the Cab and this one and preferred the Malbec. It is from Argentina from a vineyard at 100 feet in altitude. Purple in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nos
