A Cabernet Sauvignon from San Rafael Valley, South Mendoza.
Round and mature CS even when it should get a little better next 2 to 4 years. Balanced fruits mostly boysenberries aom nd red ripe plums. Nice chocolate and toast also in there. Nice palate with a good palette of choices. Sweet roasted red bell peppers and slightly toated black peppercorns. A 90 point CS in keeping with the terroir standard and kindly treated on the barrique cellaring. Good value too. I liked more the malbec and bonarda from this series and the previous 2008 vintage.
