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.

Familia Cecchin Carignan 2008, a unique organic Russel District and a Supervalue
Familia Cecchin, Carignan 2008,By Pedro y Jorge Cecchin SRL, USD 9
www.bodegacecchin.com.ar
An organic certified Carignan from Russel district in Maipu Departament ,Central Mendoza.
Quite unusual wine for our palate and usage. Mix of red cherries closer to Sangiovese and Pinot Noir with that traslucent deep red with a supernice toasty edge from oak. A wine to palate every sip. It goes addictive to my taste. It shows tannins to endure quite well 4 to 6 years. A 90 point red and a supergreat value. It reminds me some premium Zin but somehow stronger on tannins than those.
