Santa Ana La Mascota Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Maipú, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaA fine jump up in quality since 2010. The fruit is still sweet but with some other more interesting inputs. The tannins are soft and well-managed with a riff of grip; the palate ripe and savoury, with a well-handled dollop of oak. Toasted cedar works alongside the branchy, resinous and cherry notes in this red fruited cabernet. Friendly and affordable this should have wide appeal for cab fans. The perfect barbecue red.Tasted: 07 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $16.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
