Elsa Bianchi

87 PTS WILFRED WONG. Firm and built, the finely balanced '08 Elsa Cabernet telegraphs the varietal better than many others from Argentina; solid in the aftertaste.

86 PTS WILFRED WONG. A fine, dark red wine, the black-fruited '07 Elsa Syrah offers tasty, easy-to-like flavors; layered on the palate with an underlying smoothness; a fine choice with grilled meats.

With just a kiss of French oak, the rich fruit dominates this easy-drinking red, which has barely-there tannins. Invoke your inner-Argentine and drink this alongside grilled flank steak.
