Mention Argentinean wine and people immediately think of Malbec. But the Mendoza Valley also produces some Cabernet Sauvignon at attractive prices. This Cab has an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant and cedar. Medium-bodied with juicy cherry and currant flavours, it’s a wine that punches above its weight in terms of price. Food match: lamb chops or grilled sausages.
