Alamos, Mendoza (Argentina) Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Jan 30, 2013

By Michael Apstein

 Argentina has become the place to find solid wines that deliver more than the price suggests. And here’s another one of them. One of the finest ten dollar Cabernets I have tasted, it delivers ripe, yet not sweet, fruit surrounded by suave tannins. A hint of the non-fruit nuances for which Cabernet is known peeks out and adds complexity. Consumers would do well to stock up on this balanced gem.
