Susana Balbo, Mendoza (Argentina) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

($27, Vine Connections): Susana Balbo, one of Argentina great winemakers, has put together an easy-to-recommend wine by blending a small amount of Malbec (10%) with the Cabernet Sauvignon.  Malbec adds an extra dimension to this fruit-forward weighty wine whose supple tannins allow for current consumption.  Powerful, but not overdone, it is a good foil for grilled meats.
