Mascota Vineyards
Gran Mascota Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Ostensibly made from fruit but buried under 18 months of the most aggressive and astringent French oak as to unrecognizable as such. Fruit thin, watery, and a bit green, with a firm burnt caramel/burnt anise-laced tannin grip. Alcohol is present throughout. I do not like to be so negative but this is not good.

Soft note of blackberries and leather with a decent lasting taste, deep red color, smooth to take in, well blended. Let it breathe for about half an hour then it should be quite enjoyable for a $30 bottle (phnom penh)

Not sure what jack ass says this is a decent "table wine" but he needs to get his head checked. This wine drinks great for the $ value . It's got great fruit , acids , and tannin structure. So enjoy !!!
