Proof that not all very good wine from Argentina comes from Mendoza, this limited production (10,000 bottles annually) red wine offers rich and refined flavors at a reasonable cost; deep garnet-ruby red color, pungent nose of dark berries with a touch of vanilla and oak and generous round ripe plum and chocolate flavors with a touch of spice; the wine has good weight in the mouth with a smooth slightly smoky tannic finish that reflects the 16 months in medium toasted French oak; match with all types of red meats, especially BBQ beef and lamb as well as roasts; 6 bodegas refers to six wineries and is made and bottled by the Bolsa de Comercio de San Juan.
