Some pros and cons about this vino, which we're having with a fancy meal of spaghetti, goat cheese and crackers. First, it's a good buy, at a whopping $11.00 (Trader Joe's). It's got the tart full-balanced charm of a good Argentine malbec with cranberry overtones. The label claims a hint of mocha but Josh isn't tasting it. It's too tart and tight to call smooth, but balanced enough to drink in gulps, which is exactly what we're doing...given our week. Final word: if it were $9.00 a bottle, Josh would buy two cases tomorrow. As it is, I'll probably just pick up another the next time I'm at Trader Joe's.
