Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2017

Rich dark purple, black cherry hue with aromas of pure black berry, yeasty bread, rose petal,

Palate-thickish texture with brooding dark fruit, cigar ash, bold tannins, good acidity promising aging potential. Fleeting finish, but a nice touch of carraway on the end.

The ridiculous thing here is I paid $6 for this Argentinian beauty which was listed at $16 which would have been a dc cent price at that point even. 

Argentina makes spectacular Malbec and their Cabernet has been coming around for decades. This is a wonderful bargain and will only get better over the long haul.  I believe this will pay big dividends if you can manage to wait another 5 years but is enjoyable right now.  Raise a glass!
