2006 Vago Rojo

2006 Vago Rojo - Mendoza, Argentina $8. This is basic Argentinian red wine, a bistro wine. It is a blend of mostly malbec and temranillo, possibly with a few other varieties. It is a wine made by the Altocedro winery, the winery is known for their malbec that are sometimes blended with a bit of tempranillo. The wine is a bit light but it has pleasent flavors, it goes well with a quick pasta dinner and Monday night football. It's better with food than on it's own. I think for the money it is solid. It also has a screwtop, which is a good thing; all the more expensive wines from Altocedro have cork tops. If your looking for simple dinner wine check this out. I have no idea where to find this wine other than were I bought it. I got it at Bevmo, the west coast equivalent to Total Wine (though not the same company, but same idea).
