Maipú, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom estate vineyards in Barrancas, in the Maipú District, this was macerated and fermented in stainless over three weeks before aging for one year (with 40% moved to American oak). Tart black fruits are flushed out with espresso, and coated with pasty tannins, to a shorter finish. Simple red meant for equally simple dinners, like steak sandwich.Tasted: 22 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Maipú, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaPascual Toso founded his eponymous winery in 1890, with Toso Estate representing the entry-level tier of the winery. This shows dark, brambly fruit with a healthy amount of toasty oak. It's a highly extracted style, which translates to firm, assertive tannins on the palate that dry out the finish. As is, you'll want to pair this with a hearty protein to bring things into balance. It likely doesn't have the fruit to wait for the tannins to resolve on their own in the cellar.Tasted: 21 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
