Light to the eye, with lean strawberry and alfalfa aromas. The fruit is basic, with light pepper and spice nuances to the finish. Some broad-brushed oak adds sweetness and vanilla to the flavor profile.

83 Bodega López 2002 Cabernet Xero (Mendoza); $9. Sweaty on the nose, with faded oak along with modest plum and berry. The palate is tangy, with raspberry fruit flavors and some resin. Finishes grainy and thin, with dry wood notes.
