Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Wine is clear, dark purple in the center with a water white rim.
Aroma: Nice aromas of dark fruit like blackberry, baking spice, and a bit of chocolate.
The Grade: I give this one an A. The extra complexity of the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have a great impact on both the nose and the taste of this wine. At $16, this one is a nicely complex wine for anyone who likes Malbecs, or even fruitier versions of Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Fun to say "Tupungato", and fun to drink!
