2001 MONTCHENOT RED CABERNET SAUV/ MERLOT / MALBEC MAIPU MENDOZA ARGENTINA




Discovered this little beauty on the wine list of Porteno, an Argentinian restaurant in Surry Hills, Sydney.  For those who care to read my blog, I am bending the rules a little here as this is not an Australian red.

Beautiful floral nose, the wine looks clean and crisp, firm red gloss evenly throughout the bottle.  This wine has a light bodied and glides down palate with ease.  Tannin structure is refined and arguably equally refined as its 11 year old Australian WA cab merlot cousins.  Very well balanced wine.
