Cucharón Red Blend

2018 – Medium bodied red

Brilliant India ink, garnet-starting-towards-brick; medium body. Floral nose of blackberry over anise. Good structure, weight, feel & extraction on the palate - interesting-to-beguiling black fruits over herbs.  This is a food wine and will reward the adventurous-of-palate.

$17.99 / bottle

Why We Love It

A hearty red with deep flavors

Sultry with spicy Latin flair, this wine’s power and earthiness is wrapped with dark fruit flavors. Pair with rich dishes such as braised, slow-cooked meat dishes, grilled steak, and vegetarian options led by mushrooms.

Great wine

I've ordered this wine twice. I like Argentinian wine and this does not disappoint. I'm not a hard-core red wine drinker, but I love how it compliments beef dishes.

Worst Wine Ever

This was the worst tasting wine I have ever tried. Not sure if the bottle was skunked. Boone's Farm and Mad Dog 20/20 are better than this wine.

Not my fav

This wine wasn’t to my liking. I usually drink a bold Cabernet or Petite Syrah. I knew I didn’t like Petite Verdot but tried this anyway. It over takes the Malbec for sure. I will say -it finishes nicely but it’s hard to get past the smell and taste. Will not reorder this one.

Hi Laura! We appreciate your feedback and understand that everyone has different palettes. If you prefer the boldness of Petite Sirah, then may we suggest tasting our 5 String Reserve? We've also just released our brand-new Rilassanti Cabernet Sauvignon, too! With wines harvested from all over, we're sure to have the perfect pairing for you. Cheers!

Thanks so much for your review Laura! We're sad to hear this wasn't your new favorite, but glad you gave it a try! We hope you'll keep exploring your palate to find the next new wine you love. Cheers!

Wow. Just wow.

I wasn’t sure how I would like this but what an amazing taste it has. It gave me a very fulfilled feeling after sip number 2 and I could really taste oak! Love this

Wow in a bottle!

Cucharon is a small wine with a big punch! The smoothness was a hit at my latest dinner party and it went well with the steak I grilled. Everyone who attended raved about this wine.

Cucharon

Not usually a dry red wine drinker, and have love this wine from the first taste. Not too dry and goes great with my steak, or just to sip

Cucharon me a Bottle of Wine?

Love it! This wine has the best blend . I am a malbec fan. It is
is a marriage of dry and sweet. It is the perfect wine to sip by your fireplace with a steak and potato dinner.

Smooth and easy to drink!

This wine is a favorite for both my husband and I! Easy to drink, fruit forward and smooth. It pairs great with dark chocolate, spicy dishes or just a glass!
