Tasting - Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95

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: The initial smell was one of tobacco and a charbroiled smoky aroma. It was quite strong and overpowered the fruit. Upon tasting, there was an earthy tone with slight hints of chocolate. It also had a very tannic finish which I did not enjoy.

I did not have this wine with food.
