"Cuvée Brigette." 70% Malbec, 22% Cab Sauvignon, and 8% Syrah, one of two blends at this medium price point from Bodega Carinae. (The other is Cuvée Phillippe, with more Cab Sauv and Syrah, and less Malbec). We preferred this one and found it a great bargain at ARS 100; USD 7) — 10 years ago
Semi-sweet with juicy notes of black cherry and a smooth dry finish — 6 years ago
Smells like strawberries, raspberries, lemons and a touch of smoke. Great acidity, minerality and mouth feel. Taste similar to nose. Super fresh and gorgeous color too. — 6 years ago

From a time when oak use was a bit more prominent here, the nose is complex but not that Blaufränkisch - oak, spice, earth and blackberries. Palate is clean, lots of fruit, silky flow, oak creaminess but with a little more of the fresh blue and black fruit and a crack of pepper. Pretty long, too. Nicely composed. — 9 years ago
Intenso, con un bouquet ampio di fiori e frutti a polpa bianca e gialla, una leggera spaziatura di pepe bianco accompagna il sorso di media persistenza. Fresco vivo con una buona mineralità e sapido quanto basta non non smettere di berlo. Se poi ci aggiungiamo la cordialità di Brigitte .... Chapeau — 10 years ago

Very inviting nose with ripe prunes and blackberries, a touch of cassis and a hint of spices with cedar wood, pepper & cinnamon. On the palate quite sleek & cool with fine, filigrane structure. Polished tannins, juicy acidity, a sense of authenticity concreted by the tart plum fruit and earthy undertones. This is a delicious blend (Zw, Bf, Me) and excellent value for money. — 6 years ago
This is the "Jennifer" Grenache Rose from Rarecat. Another lovely wine from Rarecat. I am a bit partial to the 2015 Jennifer Rose, but this is terrific. Love Rarecat wines. — 8 years ago

AvH. Mycket bra för att vara rosé. Drack parallellt med M de Minuty till shogayaki. Pittnauer mycket godare, mer ett riktigt vin. — 10 years ago

Savoury nose. Quite light, but very well balanced acidity and great length. — 5 years ago
