Value, attractive, balance.
The 2013 vintage of this consistent Chianti Classico offers subtle aromas of dried cherries and leather, sandlewood and sweet spices, fading roses and balsamico. The palate echoes those aromas. Great style and substance for the price - it's well balanced with attractive acidity and finely textured tannins.
Pair: Tomato pastas, pizza, salami and slow roasted meats.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

Second Review
Delicious, value, approachable.Aromas of raspberry, vanilla, mocha, a bouquet of roses and violets, baking spices and licorice. The palate is supple and engaging with loads of sweet fruit, leather, mocha, sweet spice and licorice to match the nose. Good length, approachable and balanced. You won't go wrong serving this awesome value wine to a crowd at a BBQ.
Pair: grilled or roasted meats, sauteed sweet red peppers with chili and olive oil, rich tomato sauces and hard cheeses.

A buy-it-by-the-case gem, consistent and delicious.
This Garnacha packs a lot of oomph into each bottle - it oozes plush raspberry and blueberry jam aromas with chocolate, cola spices, sarsaparilla and rose petals. A supple palate lends itself well to generous berry flavours wrapped in mocha, floral and blueberry tea. It is fresh and smooth and gulp-able.
A wine for most grilled foods or game day fare but also for pizza, red sauced pasta and more traditional tapas

Straightforward, savoury, value.
A true value red the Los Cardos is named for the bright, wild thistles, which grow in Mendoza.
Expect charred herbs, smoked meat and wild blackberry aromas woven with savoury spice and leather. The palate echoes the nose, it is medium bodied and fresh with a medium-length finish.
A good everyday dinner red for grilling, hearty pastas or rich soups.

Juicy, easy, slick.
A straightforward Sauvignon Blanc without sharp edges, this Uco Valley grown version delivers honey and stone fruits, lemon balm, elderflower and nettle aromas. It has a juicy entry, slick texture, slightly watery mid-palate and medium-length finish. An easy everyday white for salads, fish, or Asian noodle dishes.
