1 | Wine | Cabernet Sauvignon, Argentina, 86 or higher

"Cassis, blueberry, violet, licorice, menthol and herbs on the pure nose. Creamy-sweet in the mouth, but nicely integrated acidity and a touch of herbs give the wine good energy and lift. Finishes firm and fresh, with fine-grained, supple tannins and plenty of structural support. A juicy, brisk, refreshing cabernet." -Stephen Tanzer

"This Cabernet shows good substance without succumbing to excessive tannins or becoming overbearing. The finish is classic Cabernet, with solid mulberry and dark berry fruit laced with cedar, demonstrating both length and focus."

"It has a lovely tobacco and hot gravel-scented bouquet with blackberries and bilberry fruit. The palate is very “classic” in style, with silky smooth tannins, crisp blackberries laced with pain grille and a dash of white pepper. The oak is well-integrated on the finish, which lingers long in the mouth."

"Bright medium ruby. Restrained but pure aromas of blackcurrant, bitter chocolate, mocha and peppery herbs. Dense, sappy and deep, boasting a seamlessness in spite of its musky dark berry flavors accented by pepper and herbs. Classic, satisfying and complete cabernet, with a lush, round texture, excellent breadth and length, and very suave, fine-grained tannins. This could do some damage in a blind flight of top Napa cabernets. A steal at the price." -Stephen Tanzer

"Bright ruby-red. Black cherry, cassis, licorice, menthol and bitter chocolate on the nose, along with some sexy oak tones. Dense and rich, with slightly elevated alcohol but good harmonious acidity to the black cherry, brown spice and mocha flavors. Plenty of sexy oak here but not at all heavy. Finishes with refined tannins and ripe notes of black cherry and chocolatey oak."

"Purple, cedar, spice box, balsamic, black currant; outstanding depth, concentration, and length."
