Bodega ELENA de Mendoza    Argentina

2010    RED BLEND

62% Malbec    21% Syrah     17% Bonarda

 

This family has developed some of my top wines from Argentina. The Malbec and

the Red Blend from Bodega Elena de Mendoza are my favorites.

 

According to wikipedia, the “legs” or  “tears” of wine that run down the inside of

the wine glass are a sign of low alcohol. The heavier the legs, the lower the alcoholic

content of the wine. If this is in fact true, then these wines are low in alcohol and big

in flavor.

 

This Red Blend, like it’s sister Malbec, are loaded with solid flavors. Not too sweet.

Not too dry, but just right. These wines will slowly undress for your tongue,

landing softly, pleasure your taste buds and leave you wanting another sip.

 

Priced under $10.
