Friday TRYday - La Finca 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon

Every Friday myself, and who ever else would like to join me, will be trying a new wine...and sharing the experience with you!
TODAY's PICK

Winery: La Finca
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon-Red
Year: 2009
Origin: Mendoza, Argentina

Bottle Description:
 Deep red colors with sweet pepper aromas.  Its luscious berry fruit on the middle palate and its wonderful soft texture and finish is inviting.  This is a wine to enjoy with beef, lamb dishes, and mature cheeses.

Thoughts from the Palate: 
This is a goooood glass of wine.  It almost shocked me at first how smooth and unabrassive it was when it first hit my lips, almost like it wasnt there.  As you sip and then slowly swallow the wine, the flavor begins to build subtly on the back of your tounge. It felt light, not very sugary, and I would almost describe it as thin-bodied, like it snuck up and surprised you with it goodness.  Easy to drink.  Fun to share.  I would reccomend.

Would you be shocked if I told you I picked up this bottle of La Finca Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 at Trader Joe's for only $3.99?  After I tasted it, I was!  Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself here!

Check back every Friday to see what we try next!

Cheers! and Happy Friday!
