Ruby-red wine; with good aromatic intensity, and touches of pepper and roasted red pepper, with some paprika or dry pepper, followed by a sweetness given by the red and black fruits. The vanilla aroma blends with the wooden notes and are fully integrated ageing in French oak barrels. A great structure in the mouth is a key feature of this year's vintage. Tannins are well condensed with anthocyanins, adding red hues, and resulting in a roundness and softness in which the typical structure of the Cabernet prevails. Valle de Uco produces this varietal with notable structure, which makes it suitable for long-term storage. The body of this wine makes it an ideal match for semi-hard or aged cheeses, or important and complex dishes of spiced red meat or pastas. Highly recommended: decant for 20 to 30 minutes at 16ºC before drinking.
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among climates ranging from Canada's Okanagan Valley to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
Cabernet Sauvignon became internationally recognized through its prominence in Bordeaux wines where it is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. From France, the grape spread across Europe and to the New World where it found new homes in places like California's Napa Valley, Australia's Coonawarra region and Chile's Maipo Valley. It was the world's most widely planted premium red wine grape until it was surpassed by Merlot in the 1990s. Read More...
