Reino de la Altazurra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Navarra and Basque Country, SpainNavarra has been growing international varieties alongside its traditional garnacha and tempranillo grapes for decades. The region's mix of Mediterranean, Atlantic, and continental influences brings plenty of sunshine while helping the grapes and wine retain freshness. This is a simple but well made, fresh wine. Its flavour and structure lean more toward red fruit than black, with hints of tobacco and olives and slightly sticky tannins. Its structure pairs well with grilled beef. For hamburgers, soft tacos, or a roasted vegetable pan, keep an eye on the price. I'm told it will be on sale for $13.99 at BC Liquor stores during a Black Friday flash sale, then $14.99 in December and January.Tasted: 30 October 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
