The Mendoza region of Argentina is the country’s best-known grape-growing area. Vineyards based at the foot of the Andes Mountains provide high and dry elevation with plenty of sun, which is why the winery is named “Colors of the Sun.”
Vineyards that are irrigated with melting snow from the mountains are the source of this red blend composed of merlot (45 percent), cabernet sauvignon (20), bonarda (20) and malbec (15).
The wine displays plenty of fruit but is balanced with a medium-body that gives it ample structure with a very smooth finish.
Sherry: “Fruity layers of cherry, strawberry and vanilla with cocoa on the finish.” 3-1/2 stars
Chris: “Jammy raspberry bouquet with flavors of light cherry, plum and vanilla with a dusting of chocolate on the finish.” 3-1/2 stars
Available locally for between $9 to $11.
Coming next week: Bex Riesling
