from: Mendoza, Argentina

grapes: malbec

Well, serious red wine drinkers know that the only way to truly appreciate a glass of wine is to do so with the utmost seriousness. Seriously, what could be more serious than a California red? They know that the state’s sunny climate and laid-back vibes infuse every bottle with a sense of easy-going sophistication. Plus, they know that California wines have a certain je ne sais quoi – something about the way the grapes are grown, or the way the soil tastes like soil, or maybe it’s just the fact that Cali reds are so smoooooth! When it comes to red wines, there’s simply no mistaking California red. C’mon, let’s be serious, who can resist the full-bodied richness, bold fruit, complexity of flavors, and versatility that Cali reds possess? I suppose my only complaint about California red wines is how expensive they’ve become. It sure would be nice if there were reds like California coming out of wine regions that are more budget friendly. I suppose that’s the price to pay to enjoy a serious glass of red just like this one here….
