Tasting - Atlas Cumbres Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Atlas Cumbres
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Lagarde
Country: Argentina
Year:  2010
Price: $15

Winery Review: Intense red color with violet highlights, with clean, fresh and complex aromas of berries, plums, figs and pepper. Strong personality is in perfect balance with a medium body and pleasant tannins. Ideal for: red meats, cheeses and strong sauces.

My Review: I was not a huge fan of this wine because it was a little too bold for me. It was a very pretty deep red color when it was poured into the glass and had a very strong spicy nose. It smelled a little musty and some dried fruits. As soon as I tasted it I thought that it was fairly complex, but was very nicely balanced because it was not over the top with tannins or acid. I think that I would like this wine much better with some strong cheese or something to be able to take some of the dryness away.

I did not taste this wine with food.
