La Posta invites you to Mendoza, the land of sun and wine, to gather at la posta del vinatero - the tavern of the grape grower. There you'll meet the growers of some of the finest grapes in the world and hear their stories before an invitation takes you back to one of their homes. In the kitchen, the stories will continue for hours. Laughter will fill the air. And you will leave richer than when you arrived.

Today we're covering the fifth in a series of wines from La Posta. Created by Laura Catena, most of this series highlights single-grower, single-vineyard wines throughout different regions of Mendoza. Today's choice; however, is a bit different in that it is a blend of grapes and vineyards...but still delicious!
The 2016 La Posta Tinto Red Blend begins with pleasant aromas of red cherry, plum and licorice plus a little leather, mint and earth that develop nicely with some time in the glass. The medium to full-bodied wine tastes tart and smooth and is full of juicy fruit. More licorice, nice spice, good touches of mocha and streaks of minerality lead into the very long, dry finish. This one should be great with a steak.
