Winery Review: The Catena Cabernet Sauvignon shows a dark ruby color with violet tones. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of ripe raspberries and cassis with notes of pepper, clove, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich and displays layers of black currant and black raspberry with notes of cedar and oregano. This Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant wine with silky tannins that provide structure and a long and persistent finish
Wine Folly: The world’s most popular wine is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that originated in Bordeaux. Wines are concentrated and age-worthy. The rich flavor and high tannin content in Cabernet Sauvignon make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with high flavor.
Pair this Cabernet with red meats like steak or lamb, demi-glace sauces, or with Steak Frites for a simple bistro-style meal.
My Review: The wine hits you with a scent of fruitiness which I would relate to cherry. There is definitely a smell of something spicy like cinnamon or cloves. When tasting it has somewhat of a woody taste towards the end. The wine was tart and dry giving a mouth-puckery feel. I don't really get much of the graphite or black currant though I don't know what exactly black currant is really. The wine was dry but it had a good balance. I liked this wine with its nice balance and I would try this wine again.
I tasted this on its own and was not paired with anything.
