Quieto Reserva 2005, USD 20, Agrelo district from Lujan de Cuyo Departament. By Bodega Montequieto.
Wonderful red from Lujan de Cuyo Mendoza. A blend 50% of Cab Franc and some malbec and Cab Sauv. Beautiful blend with strong press on ripe fruit not overcooked. Soft oaky stuff and well balanced. Probably short lasting through palate. Adorable if you like fruit but not fruit-punch driven. I´d say 89 points with good value plus.
See Quieto 2005 USD 10 in August 2010 for a perspective.
