Kaiken Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2012
Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThere is bright aromatic lift to the nose of this wine at five years old. The palate is rich but an undercurrent of savoury dried herbs balance off the black and red fruit. Impressive for the price. The grapes are from Agrelo vineyards averaging more than fifty years old. The blend is 95/5 cabernet sauvignon/malbec. Only 40 percent of the juice is aged in oak and that is for a quick six months. Just about right at the five-year mark. Steak anyone? Delicious drinking. Good value.Tasted: 07 April 2017Tasted by: Prices:BC | $18.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
