You’ll get good bang for your buck with this Argento red. It’s a bit coarse, but you can’t expect much finesse in a $10 cab sauvignon. Aromas of ripe black cherry, vanilla and florality mix with meaty and slightly acetic notes. Quite full bodied, soft and rich, then sour and tannic on the finish. Very good length for the money.
