Mascota Unanime Mendoza
Uco Valley 2012 (SKU 814822, $30.81 tax included)
I tasted the 2011 vintage of this wine which was
a gift. So the tasting may not be representative of the current vintage. However
I found that the Argentinean wines usually quite consistent from year to year. The
name translated into "Unanimous" in English. This was a big wine with
an alcohol content of 14.5%. When opened, the nose was pleasant and we started
drinking it without decanting. It went well with prime rib and rack of lamb. There
was some leftover and I tasted it with some Mediterranean food the second
night. It held up very well with a full body and subtle berries. The blend was
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Franc. It was a very good
wine to pair with red meat but you can ignore the 93 points label at the top. It is not a 93 point wine, but it is worthy of a good steak. It is currently on sale ($2.10 off) at the LDB
stores until March 31, 2018. There is a good supply in the Lower Mainland
stores.
