Familia Reina, Cabernet Sauvignon 2003, USD 15
Marvellous Cab from Ucos´s Valley,Mendoza. (Now sold as Andeluna Reserve).All a Cab must offer and all Uco´s Valley has to offer too. Just the perfect balance of maturity and cellaring.No akward edge. Cooked fruit with nice sweet component and adecuate acidity and alcohol. Still strong tannins with moderate green pepper and a gentle spiciness. All invites to repeat the sip. I´d say 93 points with an unbeatable value for 15 bucks. As I mentioned before most super Uco´s Valley reds reach cenit after 5 and close 7 to 10 yrs (Salentein, Andeluna,Achaval Ferrer Altamira,Lindaflor,Clos de los Siete,Flecha de los Andes,right off my head).
This vintage and the time of cellaring gave this 93 points for a wonderful Cab Sauv from Uco´s Valley. Andeluna Cellars give one of the best quality and values from Argentina at premium and ultrapremium level.
