Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: The Lurton brothers began working in Argentina with Catena in 1992 before establishing their own bodega there in 1996. This wine has a beautiful pale rose-petal-red colour. The nose is complex, offering suggestions of ripe red apple, earth, wild raspberry and sweet herbs. Dry and medium bodied, this is quite a robust rosé with great depth of fruit on the palate, and a fresh, tangy finish. My note: Spicy, juicy, full-bodied rose, almost Tavel-like. Love it! Fresh and fleshy ripe raspberries. Bring it on. Food matches: lightly smoked herbed salmon, chicken fajitas, spiced pork kebabs.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
