This was inexpensive, but I had reasonably high hopes for it, since it's from a relatively cool climate area. But it was like any typical overripe "international style" red you can get from some industrial Argentina Malbec or Chilean Carmenere. (I've never met a Malbec I really liked, though I have had a Carmenere or two that were quite good, though most are overripe fruit bombs.) Plus it's at the end of its life. The second day, it was flatness and showed a bit of oxidation, even though I had stored it under a Vacu-Vin. Not a good sign.
C-. Was $10.99 from the European Import Store on Pershing and Washington in Arlington.
