Finca El Origen Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2016 |
Plum and dark-berry aromas are slightly minty and mildly green. A dry edgy palate qualifies as fresh, while this tastes largely of fresh plum and black currant along with a hint of toasty oak. A high-energy finish is snappy and fresh, much like the rest of this cool-vintage Cabernet.
The wine is intensely vermillion red in color. The 8% Petit Verdot enriches the color with some violet hues, while the 7% Malbec contributes to gain aromatic expression and to soften the mouthfeel. This is a beautiful and balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that delights with black fruit aromas like cassis, currants and sweet tobacco character. It is a medium- to full-bodied wine, with firm still soft tannins and a classy ending. It is an elegant and juicy wine, with some kisses of ground black pepper. Serve at 64ºF/18ºC.
