Santa Florentina, Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, another under 5 to win






Santa Florentina, Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, By La Riojana Coop , USD 5
Quite acceptable red from Famatina Valley (1,100 mts or 3,600 ft) in La Rioja, Argentina. Sweet black fruit ,I´d say black cherries, with a nice peppery edge well mixed. No choco neither any smoke or vanilla. Pure fruit in a nice balance with alcohol and acidity. I´d say to drink before 2 years old, even might go up to four given the soft tannins and balance. A 84 points Cab and a winner for under 5 bucks.
