Gougenheim Cabernet




Hello Wine Lovers!
Argentina Cabernet is arguably the best value for Cabernet in the world! There, I said it. I'm quite sure many of the wine world folks would say that is not true, but don't believe them! Stick with me and you will discover some unbelievable values from this wonderful place in South America called Argentina. Some would say to be careful with this grape as Malbec is the "premier" grape grown in Argentina, but the high altitude, lush soils and sunny days have been very agreeable with Cabernet!
Patricio Gougenheim was born of French parents and grew up around wine at the dinner table. He was give small amounts of wine with dinner at the young age of 7 and this is probably what led him to the wine industry later in life. He bought a winery in 2002, just as everyone else was bailing and started his journey. Since the beginning he has been one of the top rated and top quality wineries in Argentina.
You will find this wine to be a deep ruby color with aromas of black fruits, spices and a hint of vanilla oak with chocolate and spices and a nice long finish. This wine is much more complex and rich than the price tag of $8.99 at Wine Discount Center. Trust me when I say this, buy this wine for the holiday weekend and have it with grilled meats and enjoy!
Cheers!
