Kaiken Ultra Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom 50+ year old biodynamic vines in the Vistalba region, this cabernet sauvignon is splashed with 5 percent malbec and spent one year in oak (80 percent in French, with the remainder ??). No worry, because whatever they did works in the glass, with juicy blackcurrant, dark plum, black raspberry, charcoal dusted tannins and a flow of salted black liquorice, works. A cloud of black pepper lingers on the finish, pinching this off quickly, and calling out for asado.Tasted: 12 October 2017Tasted by: Prices:
