Tasting - Neu Direction

Name:  Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety:  100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2010
Price:  $7.95

Winery 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:  In the wine glass this wine had a dark red color.  There were some pepper and oak aromas that come from the wine.  On the palate this wine was dry.  It had some dark berry flavors.  The finish was a little heavy and left an acidic aftertaste.  I think I would have enjoyed this wine more if I had drank it with food.

I did not drink this wine with food.
