Delicious, dark red, easy to love wine.
Do I like it?
- Would I drink a glass of this wine? Yep
- Would I drink a bottle? Yep
- Would I buy a second bottle? Yes, I’d definitely buy a second bottle of this wine.
- Would I buy a case? Yes I would. This makes a great everyday drinking wine and a fantastic ‘serve for a party’ wine.
- Is this wine a game changer? Would I call up all my wine friends and tell them they have to try it? Yes, I would say so. Normally, I’m not the biggest fan of wines from Mendoza but this one makes me want to seek our more from the region.
Is it a good gift?
- If someone gave this wine to me, would I re-gift it to a non-wine drinker rather than drinking it? I’d definitely drink this wine myself.
- Would I give this wine to a friend as a gift? If the friend is relatively new to wine and is looking to discover wines from new regions – then yes, this would make a good gift.
- Would I give this wine to a wine snob as a gift? I’m a solid maybe on this question. If said wine snob was completely unfamiliar with the region or if they typically don’t like wines from Mendoza, then maybe.
- If someone brought this wine to a party, would I be excited? A little. It’s a fun wine, so I’d be excited to have some, but I wouldn’t be jumping up and down, itching to pop the cork.
- If someone who is an ass brings this wine to my party, is it so good I’d overlook their personality, and invite them again? No, this is an everyday drinking wine. Not a ‘let’s all jump up and down and get excited about it’ wine.
