Whining on wine
Tonight’s wine: A 2006 Mendoza (Argentinean) Cabernet Sauvignon, “La Flor” from De Pulenta. One of a set of staple evening reds I’ve used this year for when I want wine without food, it stands alone very well. A touch acidic, but with good fruitiness (a tannic strawberry to my mouth, but I’ve never been a big fan of the “Hint of wild raspberries on a wet spring morning” descriptions). Has a sweet nuttiness, and works well in small doses – a solid slow evening glass.
