Pours like a two year old wine with a very young hue with residual purple on a garnet frame. Aromas of nice black berry and red berry bouquet with yeasty notes.
Palate--A tart first impression with a subdued mid palate with light berry flavors on an awkward foundation finishing quickly.
What is DOC on the title line? It tells you a lot about the wine in general. DOC is the lowest categorization that many wines can have depending on the laws of any given area of the world. They all differ. What this means here is that all the fruit in this wine are sourced from all over the Mendoza region of Argentina. That isn't "necessarily" bad it just means that the wine is table wine quality meaning everyday economical drinking for the most part.
I paid $9 for this bottle which usually runs around $14. It is not up to the standard of Norton which is generally well made, economical wines. This one is a pass! But Norton is a solid maker so try another!
