Wine Review: "An ancient Incan word meaning "Stone Sentinel", Acongua is the highest mountain in the Americas, towering over Mendoza. It is the great mountain's name that inspired "Aconga", a symbol of grandeur and the celebration of a land steeped in history. Argentina, known as the land of the silver, embraces artisans well known for their unparalleled silver craftsmanship." -Aconga Winery Review

My Review: This wine is extremely dark in color; no light shines through when held up to the light. It has an alcoholic smell with hints of black cherry. This wine has a bland aftertaste, no bite of alcohol, tastes bitter, and leaves your mouth dry. I feel as though this wine would taste good with a steak dinner. I wasn't the biggest fan but I would buy this wine again to pair with dinner. 
I enjoyed this wine without food.
