Doña Paula Estate High Altitude Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Mendoza, ArgentinaThis is a much different animal than a California cabernet. It blends cabernet sauvignon from vineyards in Gualtallary and El Cepillo in Uco Valley, where stones and minerals rule. Slim and savoury, with a juicy red currant and cassis mid-palate, it runs along to the finish, energized by the acidity. If there are tannins here, they are seamless. You can drink this now or through 2027. It's not for everyone, but this is for those of you who like complexity and leanness in your cab.Tasted: 13 August 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
