Carlos Basso Dos Fincas, 2005



Carlos Basso Dos Fincas, 2005

This red wine from Mendoza, Argentina is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. It has a dark purple color with opaque ruby highlights. On the nose there is the scent of cherries, plums and blackberry jam. This is a medium bodied wine with a taste profile similar to the nose with the addition of some oak and spice. The tannins are well submerged and the acidity is low to moderate. This is a very pleasant drinking cab/merlot from Argentina that is definitely worth the $10 price tag. We bought this wine at Pete's Wine store in Bellevue. Enjoy this wine with a juice cheese burger and some sweet potato fries!
