Benegas, Libertad Vineyards 2005, By Benegas Winery, USD 20

A single vineyard blend of a third each Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from Cruz de Piedra District in Maipu Departament (high mendoza river bank), Central Mendoza.
Beautiful mix of red ripe cooked berries and cherries, red bell peppers and a nice chocolaty and toasty envelope quite delicate. Also an interesting middle palate herbal edge. A little bit weak globaly even though the tannins are soft and well balanced. I´d say a 91 point mature and tipical Cruz de Piedra red on its best time point. A very good value though.
