Alamos, Mendoza (Argentina) Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

($10, Alamos USA):  Argentina has become the place to find solid wines that deliver more than the price suggests. And here’s another one of them. One of the finest ten dollar Cabernets I have tasted, it delivers ripe, yet not sweet, fruit surrounded by suave tannins. A hint of the non-fruit nuances for which Cabernet is known peeks out and adds complexity. Consumers would do well to stock up on this balanced gem.
