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.

Kaiken Ultra Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, what a great central mendoza ('primera zona') may bring
Kaiken Ultra, Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, By Kaiken Wines SA, USD 20
www.kaikenwines.com
A Cab from the first zone (perdriel, lunlunta and agrelo), Central Mendoza.
Ripe and complex Cabernet with all the attraction any red should have for itself.
Cassis and black cherries dominates the fruits bunch. Fully ripe with beautifull eucaliptus aromas quite delicate. Perfectly enchained oaky vanilla and chocolate. The wine is fully expressive of mature youth now and it´s got tannins to evolve beautifully terciary next 2 to 4 years.
A 92 point CS ready to enjoy the best of its youth now but room to something else walking its 6-8 years old. Great value. One of those wines to invite friends and celebrate whatever.
