Calatayud , Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, an artisan wine from Tunuyan Mendoza





Calatayud Cabernet Sauvignon 2008. By Altos Viñedos de Jose Calatayud. Tunuyan, Mendoza.USD 7.

Interesting Cab from above 1,000 mts (or 3,300 ft). Good balance without much concentration but nicely structured. Gentle herbaceous tannins with peppery notes and a touch of earthiness quite interesting. Not over the top fruitiness of easy drinking. You may even pick some eucapyltus spiciness too. Likeable balance through the palate. Probably not a wine to stand up alone but easy to go along with many foods and dishes. Good value clearly. Sure drink before 4 years. A 84 points Cab Sau with typicity and honesty.

4,000 bottles made on this Family small artisan Winery.
