Long known for harsh local variety wines, Argentina has recently started to produce high-quality, low price wine. At under $500, this dark colored and soft-bodied wine is one of the best inexpensive red wines from Argentina.

This wine is a good example of the improved wines coming from Argentina.It's a truly good value wine. The wine has a full body with ample, slightly exotic fruit flavors. The wine is quite soft and round in the mouth and has a surprisingly long finish for an inexpensive wine. The relatively high alcohol content, 13.3%, attests to the ripeness of the fruit used in this wine. Enjoy this wine with steaks, especially Argentina Steaks, and a variety of grilled meats. It's also a fine match with BBQ chicken or ribs. Serve this wine slightly below room temperature, about 16℃°.

The Etchart winery is located in Cafayate, Argentina. Founded in 1850 it is one of the most respected producers with a number of award-winning wines. With vineyards located between 2,600 and 3,000 feet above sea level, Etchart consistently produces high-quality, good value wines.
