Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Joffre & Hijas, Gran Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, a great Cab from terroir and age
Joffre & Hijas, Gran Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, By RJ Viñedos S.A.G, USD 13
A Cabernet Sauvignon from Uco Valley, Mendoza.
Completely matured CS with all the virtues it could bring along. An superpremium red at a premium price sum up to a great Argentinian Value. I like much more this beauty than any most Argenitinian malbecs. Full black fruits mostly berries sweet and sour thinny sliced and layered typical of an Uco´s red. No peppery neither herbality but strong backbone quite alluring no one will ignore. A 91 point CB fully cellared to its momentum. One of those Argentina´s premium Cabernets to enjoy close to 8 y/o (Salentein Reserve, Andeluna Reserve,some vintages of Patagonian Cabs to mention right off the top of my mind). Great value.
