Tekiah Cabernet Sauvignon, San Martin, Mendoza 2007 12.9% alcohol about $12
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note: (Translated from the Spanish) A very deep red color, with violet tints. Tekiah’s elegant aromas are balanced and complex. Beautifully expressed flavors of red fruit and black pepper. Kosher for Passover. (The mostomagazine website, Dec. 22, 2008) And now for my review.
At the first sips I found this wine mouth filling, somewhat subtle, and oaky. The initial meal was thin yellow peppers stuffed with a delicious mixture of ground turkey, rice, garlic, onion, cumin, and allspice on a boiled, sliced potato base. The wine picked up acidity; it was still good.
