Patagonia Cabernet: Don't be afraid.

That's a Patagonian Sunset, at their vineyard.

I was looking for pictures of Patagonia Red Wine on google images, and found nothing. It's a pretty unknown wine, but that's okay with me. I've often ventured into the unknown on a few bottles of wine... sometimes more than a few. The official website for the wine had one very self-exploratory picture, and a short little bio. That's their vineyard above, where they grow their Cabernet grapes, and it's beautiful.

The country is amazing. The grapes being grown there goes back a very long time. The family history behind some the vineyards is a very extensive, mood inducing, journey of sorts. I won't go into detail on here.

Aged in french oak. Dark enough to supply back-up to any roasted meat or grilled burger, this wine is chewy. I like the flavor, I taste the oak which makes me hungry for something fire-roasted.

Worth the risk? Sure.
