Vago Rojo

Do not buy this wine. Plain and simple. I’m sad not only that I have it, but that I have another bottle that’s sitting in my closet waiting to be opened on another sad, sad day.

Vago Rojo is everything that a wine should not be. It wears too much makeup and has no character. The first kiss tastes sweet but two minutes later you’re left thinking, “what the heck am I doing?”

This is probably the biggest fruit bomb wine I’ve had from Argentina, and that excited me somewhat at first. Tonight is the second night of drinking for me, and on both days I thought the first sip tasted delicious. The fruit really jumps on your palette for that first sip, and it’s hard not to feel optimistic.

That’s pretty much the end of the party, though. The fruit behind this wine simply is not bringing the quality, and the flavor profile quickly falls apart from lack of a backbone. One glass was all I could stomach the first night, and I don’t know if I’ll even get that far tonight. This bottle has pour-me-out written all over it.
