Tasting- Santa Julia Cabernet Sauvignon

Santa Julia Cabernet Sauvignon

Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: Mendoza 

Country: Argentina

Year: 2012

Price: $8.99

Tasting Notes: "Ruby red with purple highlights and good intensity. A nose mainly of black cherries, prunes, gooseberries, blackberries and spices. Full-bodied and rich. Balanced with fine tannins. A long and persistent finish." 

My review: I found the flavor stringent and intriguing. It had a bold smell but not an "in-your-face" flavor. It was very smooth with slight cherry and raisin hints to taste. Definitely enjoyed this one!

We paired this with a nice sharp cheddar cheese and I think it complimented the style of the wine very well.
