Bodegas De Los Clop Paraje Altamira Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Bodegas De Los Clop Paraje Altamira Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a robust, structured, and highly expressive red wine crafted from high-altitude vineyards in the prestigious Paraje Altamira appellation within Mendoza's Uco Valley. Showcasing a deep garnet-red color with vibrant violet reflections, the aromatic bouquet opens with alluring notes of blackcurrant, dark plum, and mint, elegantly layered with nuances of vanilla, cedar wood, and toasty oak. On the palate, it is medium-plus to full-bodied and beautifully zesty, offering a core of succulent dark fruit perfectly framed by firm, fine-grained tannins. A savory touch of leather, roasted coffee beans, and spice adds rich complexity, driving through to a long, persistent, and highly satisfying finish.

Food Pairing:

Pairs beautifully with grilled sirloin steak, slow-roasted pork chops, hearty beef short ribs, savory lamb kebabs, and mature firm cheeses.

Zesty blackcurrants and plums with spicy oak and cedar wood. Succulent, spicy fruit on the palate with very firm yet fine-grained tannin. Long. Drink now or hold.
