Wine Tasting -Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon



Name: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar Critique: "This Cabernet Sauvignon show very good purity of fruit and skillful winemaking. This wine is full of black-fruit aromas, depth and style. The palate pushed ripe plum and berry fruit along with chocolate, and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure.

My Critique: This wine was overwhelming in all aspects of the wine. This Cabernet has an overwhelmingly powerful aroma that took me by surprise. It had a full and rich bouquet and really stung the nostrils. This red had a high alcohol content which really led to a hot finish. This wine had an abrasive and aggressive taste. I thought I tasted pomegranate but most definitely tasted plum as well. I thought this wine was disgusting and I would never buy it.
