Country     : Argentina
Region      : Mendoza

Notes
-----
This wine is a great everyday drinking wine with a fine QPR
(Quality/Price Ratio). Its color is a lovely clear ruby, so
dark it is almost purple. It has a very fragrant scent, with
a strong element of cocoa. With hints of cherry and
blackberry, it has a good bit of acidity and definite
tannins, but the acidity dominates a bit.

Production Notes
----------------
Terra Rosa is bottled in two varieties, one from Chilean
vinyards and one from Argentina. The 2002 vintage will be
bottled with a screwcap.

Additional Notes
----------------
I found this wine when dining at Irene's Cuisine, a great restaurant in the
French Quarter. We were on a budget, and ordered the cheapest red wine on
the list. It tasted like it, too. The waiter suggested Terra Rosa, only a
few dollars more than the first wine, but much, much better. This was a
1999 Chilean version, but I've never been disappointed by this wine.
