Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Umbral (de los tiempos) Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, a beautiful CS from Cruz de Piedra
Umbral de los Tiempos, Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, By Bodega Cruz de Piedra, USD 14
A colorful Cab from Cruz de Piedra distric in Maipu Departament, Central Mendoza.
Good assamblage of ripe chocolaty black plum with a toach of herbal and peppery adding close distance to typical a CS. Less adorable than the Malbec counterpart. I wound´t cellar it much more than 4 years, up to 6 years.An 88 points CS and a good value too.
