Tasting - Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

  • Name: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
  • Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Region: Mendoza
  • Country: Argentina
  • Year: 2010
  • Price: $15, $7.95 sale
  • Vintage Cellar 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: I really enjoyed this Cabernet Sauvignon! I was able to detect some black cherry, and blackberry smells. I found this dark fruit scent very pleasing, and as I have had not previously had any wines with these scents, I was pleasantly surprised by them. I thought this wine had pretty good complexity, as the taste was immensely tannic, big, and dry. This was my favorite wine from this tasting by a long shot, and has turned me on to trying more cabernet sauvignons.
