Graffigna, Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, Gran Reserva. Excelent Value





Graffigna, Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva ,2005, USD 20
Nice Cab from Padernal Valley (high altitude), San Juan.Very attractive Cab with nice balance and character. Fruits are remarcable with fresh ripe and some compote mixed. Acidity and alcohol in strong equilibrium. Soft oaky tips with a hint of vanila and some more choco and smoke. I´d say a 90 points wine with excelent value component.
One of the few San Juan values above every day quality (the great values Shiraz from San Juan are not more than 5 USD, i.e. Callia, Las Moras to mention,other high quality are above 20 USD like Alma Mora or Grand Callia)
