Janvier Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 "Clos de los Siete": Argentinean wine (2005) label on the back of the bottle says: 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 10% Merlot, alcohol 13%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janejoe Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yes, 100% wine content, 13% Alcohol By Volume. I think you'll find every wine bottle has the alcohol content listed on the label, it tells us how strong it is. It's not a new concept to be honest!

Strider Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Tried this bottle out. 2017 vintage. Not bad. Goes well with burgers or steak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I've been enjoying a lot of red blends, heavy on the Syrah, lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Had a Beautiful bottle of Beronia 2012 Gran Reserva Rioja last evening. We had it with Lamb, Jersey Royals and Asparagus. Typical Rioja style. Oak and Vanilla with a silky finish. @Strider. When we were in New York we had a good few bottles of Beringer Sauvignon Blanc. Lovely.

chillumpuffer Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) @ebk @Strider It was our Wedding Anniversary yesterday and we went to a local restaurant for dinner. We had a bottle of this. I swear that it was the best wine we have ever tasted. Mrs CP is not a big red wine drinker, but this was seriously wonderful. Velvet smooth with that leathery sweetness, Vanilla and Cola. It was nothing like the Strawberry, light coloured Pinot's from NZ or France. No, this was a big fat dollop of fruit goodness. £32 notes a pop but as we know the owner he said I can get you a case or two at cost. My bank balance is in serious doubt of going in the red, if you pardon the pun. It was a 2017 vintage Edited July 2, 2021 by chillumpuffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine envy here as we can't get that in the UK, unless I tap the restaurant up. As I say it was 2017 Vintage. Tonight we have a Pinot from Monterey, CA. See what that's like.
