Riglos, Gran Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, By Fincas Las Divas, USD 23
A single vineyard Cabernet from Tupungato Valley part of Uco Valley, Mendoza.
Wonderful Cab with an astonshing balance. This proves that a well ripe and equilibrated Cabernet Sauvignon reaches where malbec can´t, not even close. Quite elegant black little fruits like cherries and berries with nice global balance including chocolate and smoke at the right place.Smooth and elegant all through the palate which continues to complete in the aftertaste time. Acidity and alcohol go delicate. A 93 points red, not bombastic neither shoking as some other well priced fashion reds. I feel it to improve next 6 years given the bone of the tannins. Great Argentina´s value. A must red to know this terroir´s potential to imprint some grapevines.
