Not a lot of details out there on this wine. Looks like the Malbec is available through some other retailers at around $20. There are some really good Mendoza based wines, but some are also garbage.
@deadlyapp That’s exactly why I stay far, far away from Argentinian and Chilean wine unless I known and trusted palate weighs in. (And even some of the higher quality stuff is not my style, so there’s an extra wrinkle.) @WineDavid49
@deadlyapp Yes, some rattage would have been nice. I liked the price point of the case lot, but was afraid to pull the trigger, particularly since I’ve got a pretty full cellar.

@ejrunion “We return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, — no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, — my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite spaces, — all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God.”
Bright garnet colored. It displays an intense bouquet made up of ripe black fruits, spices like pepper and licorice complemented by vanilla notes that come out during the aging process. It offers up a juicy, elegant mouth with fruity and herbal flavors.
The Herencia Trabajo Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of an unflagging search for keeping the essential characteristics of the grape. The simplicity of this wine makes it versatile enough to liven up every moment and meal.
Vineyard and Winemaker’s notes
Beneath the towering Andes Mountains lies one of the world’s most extraordinary wine regions, in the heart of a hot and dry desert. The geography of Mendoza, with all its stones and sunshine, has propelled it to become one of the 10 Great Wine Capitals of the World. 70% of the wine from Argentina is made in Mendoza.

The label is very similar to a sketch done in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Essay, “Nature”. It is the transcendent eyeball that roams the world. Connection?
