At some 400 feet above sea level, Gualtallary is a high altitude wine area in Argentina’s Tupungato region. Pour a glass of this Cabernet and admire the deep purple wine lying in the glass with its bright, almost electric looking red rim shimmering. Inhale the seductive aroma of blackberries, chocolate, and a soupçon of espresso, and savor the bold flavors and energetic tannins are all part of the wine’s charm. This nicely balanced Cabernet is a good choice to accompany steak, lamb chops, a hearty lasagna, or chili with or without the carne.
