Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Winery: Bodegas Perez
Aging: 12 Months
Alcohol: 13%
DESCRIPTION
First and foremost, this is an earth-driven, very mineral wine. Mushrooms and potting soil are quite apparent on the nose, but fade to the background across the palate. Leather, berries and cinnamon came to life once tasted, along with wet wood and dark chocolate (indicating mature barrels were used in production). Tremendously approachable for such a young Cabernet.

PAIRINGS:
Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile red wine that pairs well with most red wine friendly dishes, as good with pasta and burgers as it is with beef wellington.
GRAPEVINES
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Cabernet Sauvignon wines are produced from these types of grapes – on the vine they’re red, small, and hard. The wines have a tendency to flavor just like blackberries as well as cedar. Bordeaux utilizes the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, typically combined in with Merlot. These kinds of grapes can also be cultivated broadly in California as well as Australia. The grape includes a large amount of tannin, which results in a great red wine whenever effectively older.
Pairings:
- – Braised lamb or venison
- – Filet mignon
- – Foie Gras
- – Lentils
- – Asian-style beef
- – Risotto
- – Pasta dishes (especially with cream sauces)
- – Steak
- – Short ribs
- – Aromatic, aged full-flavored cheeses such as Roquefort, Blue, Camembert and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
