RedWhile Argentina is best known for Malbec, bottles like Iconic's Sidekick Cabernet make a strong case for exploring beyond the country's signature grape. This Mendoza Cab delivers serious bang for the buck with the kind of rich fruit and smooth texture that has made Argentine reds so popular. Grown at elevation in Mendoza's high desert climate, this Cabernet benefits from intense sunshine during the day and cool nights that help preserve acidity and freshness. The result is a wine that offers California-like ripeness and accessibility but with a distinctive South American character – and at a price point that makes it perfect for everyday enjoyment. True to its name, this Sidekick is the perfect companion to a wide range of foods or simply for relaxed sipping when you want a red that delivers pleasure without demanding too much attention.
