Las Moras - Tannat (2006)

Las Moras Reserve
Tannat
San Juan, Argentina, 2006

It starts lightly, with lots of fruit, and eases into a sweet, silky, and woody, but slightly spicy finish.
A subtle but deep wine. Tannat is a new grape on the scene and I am enjoying discovering it more. In this wine, I loved the balance between woody and fruity.

Caracter - Argentina (2008)

Caracter
Chardonnay-Chenin
Argentina (2008)

A surprisingly delectable wine made of equal portions of Chardonnay and Chenin grapes. First impressions were of pear and crisp apple, followed by a hint of herb and tropical fruit.

Made in Mendoza region of Argentina, a region more well-known for its full bodied reds, this was a lovely summer delight.
