Anyone looking for a whole lot of wine for not too much cash will be pleased with this blend, named for former Argentinean president Juan Peron, husband of Evita. Back to the wine: it’s rich, heady and borderline opulent, with ripe tannins, plumpness and hedonistic fruit. Incorporates 10% Cabernet and 5% Syrah.

This is a dark, heavily oaked wine, one that contains 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah in addition to Malbec. The nose is less about fruit and more about wood, with sawdust aromas front and center. The plum and black currant fruit is masked by the heavy barrel influence, and the mouthfeel is heavy. ——M.S.(11/1/2002)—— 86
