title: Rutini 2012 Encuentro Barrel Blend Red (Argentina)
description: Concentrated full-force aromas of mixed black fruits come with notes of cheesy oak and animal hide. This is not your usual 15% abv bruiser even though it's full-bodied and burly. The key is racy acidity and a 14.2% alcohol level, which allows toasty, chocolaty berry flavors to show a mild herbal element as well as choppy freshness on the finish. Drink through 2022.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
