Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010

Shop/wine critic/winery review:
    Intense red color with violet highlights, with clean, fresh and complex aromas of berries, plums, figs, and pepper. Strong personality is in perfect balance with a medium body and pleasant tannins. Ideal for: red meats, cheeses and strong sauces.

My Review
    Beautifully bloody in color, with an acidic, prune-juicy, red fruity nose. Upon tasting, this wine is smokey/oaky and tannic with notes of red fruit and tart. There is a long lasting finish of fruit, mostly plums and cherries. This wine is a little hot, but nice all the same. 77-78/100
