Altas Cumbres Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 (About $10)


About the Wine:  Argentina is best known for its earthy, fruity Malbecs.  They do also make some very good Cabernet Sauvignon.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it has a ruby center fading to a pink rim.  Tobacco is strong on the nose with notes of tart red fruit.  The palate is both dry and fruity with strong notes of jammy cherries.  It finishes mildly, dryly, and with continuing notes of cherry.
Drinking This Wine:  A bit dry for a sipping wine, Altas Cumbres would go well with juicy red meat, steamed rice dishes, or pasta.
Overall Impression:  This is not a spectacular wine but it is good and the price is certainly right.  At ten dollars it is a good value.
