San Juan, ArgentinaDada or Dadaism is said to be a form of artistic anarchy rejecting the social, political and cultural values of the time. From 1916 until the mid-1920s, artists in Zurich, New York, Cologne, Hanover, and Paris declared an all-out assault against conventional definitions of art and in some cases, rational thought itself. Okay we get it. Does that make this merlot, aged in heavily toasted oak barrels a rejection of the tried and true? Whatever! Soft, round, spicy and fruity and ready to drink. Hamburgers anyone?Tasted: 31 March 2017Tasted by: Prices:

San Juan, ArgentinaDadaism is set as artistic anarchy rejecting the social, political and cultural values from 1916 to the mid 1920s. Dadaists rejected any cultural or societal norms. This wine, named in honour of those revolutionaries, should eschew oak, overripeness and sweet fruit. BUT. It so does not. This is a soft, overripe, wood-driven, noticeably sweet merlot sweetened with maple coffee and squeezed by wooden tannins. The wine is commercial enough, but trying to associate this wine with radical, conventionless dadaism with this wine? Super fail.Tasted: 31 March 2017Tasted by: Prices:
