7 Lunas, Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, a very good Cab value from Las Compuertas



7 Lunas, Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, By Puerta de los Andes (Tomás Achaval) , USD 12



A beauty Cab from las Compuertas district in Uco Valley. Nicely matured it shows good balance of black berries and a toasty note with sweet chocolate to round it up. A little toach of mint and clove. Lacks some varietal beauty notes like pepper and herbal.Very attractive in the palate with harmonious alcohol and acidity. A 88 points malbec with great typicity for las Compuertas. To enjoy 4-6 years of cellar. A very good value. Probably most int´l wines at 20 bucks level.
