Tasting - Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $15.00 (On Sale for $7.95)

Winery Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful winemaking. This wine is full of blackfruit aromas, depth and style. The palate pushes ripe plum and berry fruit along with chocolate, and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure.


My Review: The nose of this wine provided hints of cinnamon, blackberries, spices, and chocolate.  Adding to this smell, the taste provided cherry, plum, and blackberry notes.  Personally, I didn't taste as much of the chocolate as the winery review would suggest.  Despite that, this wine was very well put together and I would recommend it!

I tasted this on its own with no food.
