San Huberto Cabernet Sauvignon Reserved
TASTING NOTES
This is an inky blackish-purple wine, opaque in the glass. Plummy black-fruit flavors seem a bit closed and tight at first, but open up with time in the glass. More fruit-forward on the palate, it´s big and monolithic, blueberries and cream and a dash of spice, somewhat one dimensional but huge and ripe, fruit and sweet oak and a heady 13.5% alcohol, made in the "international blockbuster" style. It´s a wine genre that finds a ready market.
FOOD MATCH
It would work well enough with grilled red meat , and the addition of some aromatic but not fiery Indian spice to a chicken pilaf with roasted red peppers made it a pretty good match.
