Maddalena Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas and flavors of black currant, cassis, black cherry and sometimes plum (in warmer regions or vintages). Quite rich on the palate, the variety is very tannic, giving its wines a bitter edge in their youth, but also providing the wines with great aging potential, with top flight examples drinking well for as long as four or five decades. Given their richness and flavor profile, wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon need to be paired with rich red meats, such as steaks and roasts as well as game.

Black ruby color. Aromas of dried figs and dates, coconut granola, and grilled apple with a velvety, lively, dryish medium body and a warming, stimulating, medium-long cranberry, lime zest, raspberry curd, allspice, and chocolate dipped macaroons finish with chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. An interesting Cabernet to dive into.
