An easy drinking, lightly colored wine, it offers bright red fruit, white pepper and a bit of green pepper on the nose. These are followed by cranberry, cherry and strawberry on the palate, bolstered by a pinch of green herbs. Often served slightly chilled, it’s best served alongside Argentinian barbecue on the polo field—such as the Happy Canyon one owned by the brand’s founder Thomas Barrack.
