I forgot to take a picture of the bottle, but I did capture the moment. We put together some cheese, apple, nuts and chocolate sticks to start out the tasting. The wine was poured and I noticed it was a very crisp looking pale yellow. It had a nose of apples and gooseberry which translated well onto the palate. In addition, I tasted citrus notes and green melon on the mid palate. Good clean acidity and a sharp mouthfeel made this a delightful wine for an afternoon tasting. Others have noted the use of oak and vanilla flavors, I did not. I would pair it with baked salmon, perhaps grilled chicken and most definitely oysters on the half shell. This Argentinian winery has always over-delivered for me and the pricing is excellent. When in doubt at the wine shop I always look for the telltale golden capsule of their Reserve line and am never disappointed. I paid $19 for it and am going with 90 points and 4 stars. Salut….
