Tasting - Atlas Cumbres Cabernet Sauvignon 2010



Name: Atlas Cumbres Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $15; Sale for $6.95

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: The nose on this wine was super fruit-tastic, with some pepper and cherry flavors as well. There was also a lot of heat on the nose, you could easily smell the alcohol. The flavors were very cherry centric, giving it almost a cough medicine taste and there was also a lot of heat. There was barely any finish, but what there was was again reminding me of cough medicine. I would have enjoyed this wine if it weren't for the fact that I hate cough medicine.
