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 made from organic grapes in Argentina. Ruby in color, flat, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with black cherries, black pepper and some char. Mice mouthfeel. Medium tannins. On the palate, the black cherries come thru along with some plums and underlying char. Long finish. Overall, a very solid Cab and a terrific value. It drinks well on its own and would be great with burgers or ribs off the grill. Drink over the next three to 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.
Another great value from this estate in Argentina. Purple in color, magenta at the rim, opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, char, dust and a slight Tootsie Roll™ note. Lovely, chewy texture. On the palate, cassis with some chocolate. Light tannins. Long finish with a slight mint note. This is drinking well now and should continue for another five to eight years. A nice wine to sit and drink on its own, but this will also work with food off the grill.
This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the best grapes of the original estate vineyard planted in the late 1990's by Jean Bousquet. Purple in color, ruby at the rime, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is tight and takes about an hour to open. Cassis, figs, cedar and spice. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, cassis, anise, slight tobacco. Well balanced. Long finish with firm tannins. Made from organic grapes. This is drinking well but will improve with good cellaring. Wait a few years then drink over the next eight to twelve years. A nice match with grilled steak or ribs.
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.
