Perdriel Coleccion Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 (about $13)



About the Wine:  Argentina is best known for its Malbecs.  Personal experience has been that Cabs from there are, at best, a hit and miss proposition.  Hopefully this is one of the hits.

About THIS Wine:  This one is blood red in the glass with a crimson rim.  French oak dominates the nose, but hints of fruit peek out.  The palate is bone dry with a solid tannin structure.

Drinking This Wine:  This is a real beast of a wine and it wants some food to go with it.  Steak would be good.

Overall Impression:  This is no South American fruit bomb.  This is a serious Cab.  It's not quite at the level of the greats Cabs of Napa, but it is on its way.  At this price, this wine is a steal.
