Reserva Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyards are located in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina, in area at 33º South latitude, with a continental climate. Deep dark Ruby with fresh fruit and citrus notes, aged in French oak. On the palate strawberry and berry fruit flavors, sweet vanilla spice, cacao and oak. Soft fine tannins on lingering finish ending with mineral and earthy tones. Nice value.

Had another bottle in the cellar, aged well. Ruby with spicy, floral red fruit aromas. The palate shows cherries and raspberries with a sweet tang, refined soft tannins and overall good balance. Finish is medium+ length and showing pepper, cacao and mineral notes on ending.

Day 2 and this riserva Cabernet is doing quite well. Chocolate nibs and black plums, grilled hamburger, mint and thyme, white pepper, cedar and smoke. Tastes of black cherry, dried blackberry, charred blueberry and graphite dust informing the grainy tannins. Cedar and cigar interplay, black currant reduction, ending with a long cinnamon stick. Really a charmer.

Agree lp vineyard 80 years old 1 year in new oak

Darker and tannic

Good wine for the price <$20

Surprisingly smooth and interesting. Pleasing bouquet, lovely spice/fruity opening, medium weight, long finish (but not overwhelmingly long). This 2015 will get even better. We will definitely get more.

"Nice bottle with Malbec in the lead. On day 1, actually tasted quite a bit of sweet bbq'd meat flavor. This dissipated on day 2 and was traditional dark berries and slight tobacco. Aroma was moderate and of the same as the palate. Had med to high body and mouth feel. Not outstanding, but a very good value at $15. Would certainly buy again."

Very slight at first opening, was much better 2nd day. Vanilla and blackberry with oak, very dry, medium finish

Excellent smell, fruity, oaky
