Juicy and enveloping palate - flows like velvet towards a balanced and full-flavored mid-palate. Round yet gentle tannins that ensure a lingering finish with good aging potential. Excellent with cuts of lamb and grilled red meats. PEAK DRINKING: 8 years. |
If you like rich, full wines with dark fruit flavors, then you might want to try the fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignons from Argentina.
The dry, hot climate of Argentina is really great for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes ripen very easily, so these Cabs are able to show a wonderful depth of flavor, with lots of blackberries, cherry, pepper, vanilla and with a little bit of mint.
