A few days ago we opened the 2018 Susana Balbo Signature Cabernet Sauvignon from Valle de Uco Mendoza. This is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec.
On the nose we have black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, plum, green peppercorns, spice, cedar, chocolate and crushed gravel.
On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, spice green bell pepper, black pepper, minerality and earth.
This is a full bodied wine and has a clean fresh mouthfeel medium+ acidity and medium+crunchy tannins that has a nice long dark fruit spicy finish. Have a nice weekend and do something fun. Stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago

For 10 bucks?! Are ya kidding? Great swill for that price or more. Found at Bar & Garden (DTX) so you know it’s also organic. — 4 years ago

I’m not a fan of red wines, but this one was fabulous. It was given to me as a gift, and I had no hangover the next day, and it was very smooth. — 8 months ago
Fresh fruit and upcoming rain on the nose are always a good sign. Mature berries dance on the palate and are followed by a long, silky, mature finish.
This wine is just spectacular!! — 2 years ago
Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice and floral notes, 8% Cabernet Franc added with Malbec. On the palate flavors of blackberry and juicy cherry with cacao, pepper spice and nutty notes. Fine soft tannins, lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and floral notes. Nice value! — 3 years ago

Это бомба. Купаж 2003 Каберне, Шираза и Пти вердо плюс 15"алкоголя дали фантастический рубиновый цвет и вкус спелой смородины. Божественно. Одна из моих высших оценок. — 6 years ago
