Tasting - Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon

Name:  Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety:  100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2010
Price:  $15.00

Winery review:  This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful winemaking. This wine is full of black-fruit aromas, depth and style. The palate pushes ripe plum and berry fruit along with chocolate, and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure.

My review:  This wine is very sweet and jammy on the nose. It gave off strong aromas of black fruit and raspberry. Not as sweet as expected based on smell. Like the review above, this wine is “chewy.” The tannins give this wine a thick and long lasting body.

Food:  Did not have with food
