Animal, Mendoza (Argentina) Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

 This is an interesting wine in that it is somewhat different from the standard Cabernet, but that difference doesn’t completely transfer to being a wine I would want to linger over.  The flavors of elderberry, some brandied cherries and garrigue-like spiciness are very rounded and not linear as we have in most Cabernets, so it seems to be a bit short.  That said, it is much better than most $25 Cabernets.
