  Finca Las Moras Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz (2006) from Argentina
  
  Finca Las Moras has been around for about 11 years now and one of the cooler things I discovered about this vineyard was the fact that it is drip irrigated with meltwater from the Andes...now how cool is that?!
  
  This was a young wine but for 12.99 it is a nice, inexpensive wine to serve a large group of varied wine-drinkers. It has enough class and character to appease the folks more interested in wine and enough flavor and fruit to catch the attention of those who might not normally drink wine.
  
  The tannins in this wine were soft and it was pretty fruity. I could taste definite oak on the finish. In short, a nice little stand-up and have a chat wine. Do check it out sometime.
  
  Davidson Rating Scale: 8.5
  Cost: 12.9
