Argentina – Red – 2005 – 14%
Region: Mendoza
Producer: Cavas de Weinert
Label: Carrascal
Grapes: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Deep red colour with a nose of raisin and peppery spice. Full bodied with smooth texture and soft tannins. Strong, slightly bitter flavours of jammy red fruit, very enjoyable. Probably not to everyone’s liking but a good value if it is.

Argentina – Red – 2009 – 13.5%
Region: San Juan
Producer: Bodegas y Vinedos Santiago Graffigna
Label: Balbi
Grapes: 90% Shiraz, 10% Viognier
Dark purple wine with rich aromas of plum and red berries. Full bodied, very smooth in the mouth with straightforward peppery shiraz flavours of red fruit. Didn’t expect much from this wine but was impressed, it’s certainly good value for everyday drinking.
