Piattelli Cafayate Valley Salta, Argentina 2015 Cabernet Reserve, $7.64-$16.99, 88 points, poured patches of black and opaque purple/reds with a clear meniscus and heavy glass sheeting.
Smells of crème de cassis, earth, and black olives were rich.
Full-bodied with good acidity and moderately mellow tannins added to the relatively smooth texture.
Black fruits with plum and mulberry flavors were highlighted by black olives and cilantro.
Finished fair on the fading palate, quite dry, and appropriately complemented by the 14.5% alcohol.

Don't think I have ever had an Argentinian Cab.
