Weinert
Carrascal
Mendoza, Argentina
2008
$13.95
Wine review: Aged for two years in castk, the 2008 Carrascal is a blend of 40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. It has a rustic blackberry, scorched earth and leather-scented bouquet with touches of pressed flowers. The palate is well-balanced with crisp tannins, expressive black tarry fruit and a Bordeaux-like finish
My review: Dark cherry color. I was able to pick up dark cherry and alcohol aroma on the nose. Fruit and tannins forward balances well with each other on the palate as well as oak and leathery bouquet come out at the end. Full body with big dry finish, but it also provides long and smooth at the end. Very well structured wine that will be pared really good with thick cut steak and pork bbq dishes with thick and savory sauce.
