A vibrant, fruit-forward cabernet with aromas of crushed stones, dried herbs, violets, blackcurrants and cassis. Full-bodied, well-balanced and full of energy, with firm, fine tannins and a pretty finish.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was produced with grapes from their vineyard in Perdriel (Finca de los Andes is now mentioned on the label) that was planted in 1994 and delivers a fruit-driven and varietal red with fine tannins and a gentle mouthfeel. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in French barrique for one year. It has good ripeness and 14.3% alcohol. I always find notes of honey and beeswax in this wine, and this vintage is not an exception. It has herbal and berry fruit and is fresh, spicy and peppery, from the variety, with a medium to full-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins. It represents the variety, vintage and place faithfully.
