San Rafael, General Alvear, Southern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThis ripe, sweeter cabernet sauvignon comes from their San Rafael estate, Finca Dona Elsa, and its loamy sands. Candied blueberry, violets, fleshy cherries flood a velvet-lined palate, with lightly sticky tannins to side, and sweet spices to finish. Very entry-level, with the bump of RS to match.Tasted: 22 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
San Rafael, General Alvear, Southern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThis shows quite a confected, aromatic nose, almost carbonic-like in character, with soft black fruits, olive, and a floral lift. It's interesting, though not necessarily evocative of cabernet sauvignon. The palate is broad, if a bit dilute, with decent freshness and medium-grained, powdery tannins. It's a bit forced and disjointed, though a fine everyday sipper at a reasonable price. I'd be tempted to serve this with a light chill.Tasted: 21 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
