Cabo de Hornos, Cab Sau from Vistalba Mendoza, good value





Cabo de Hornos, Cabernet Sauvignon 2006,
gran reserva,
USD 9
Cab from Vistalba disctric of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza.Dark brown in it but mostly bordeaux red. Clear aromas and tipicity preserved but not very complex though. Nice middle palate but lacking initial and end palate. Soft fruit and clear green peppery and herbal notes. A hint of humidity and fungus kind of nice. Alcohol bothering. I´d say 83 points. Better if blended with malbec or syrah.I´d say overall a good value .
