The most cellar-worthy Argentine wine on the general list packs cabernet authority, unusual for its price point. A Euro–New World crossover with ripe cassis-plum fruit, oak spice and some Old World cabernet earthiness. Full bodied and dense, with chewy tannin, but the fruit shines for good length. Best 2009 to 2012. LCBO 614669
