Catena Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008

Catena 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is from Mendoza, Argentina.  On my palate the tannins are light and the flavor is oak, pepper and cherry with a hint of coffee.  An enjoyable wine that would pair nicely with red meat or is enjoyable on its own. 

Winemaker's Notes:  A dark purple color with tones of garnet.  The nose offers intense aromas of ripe black currant fruit with layers of eastern spice, cedar, and a touch of fresh herbs.  The mouthfeel is full and rich with layers of cassis and notes of roasted espresso and graphite.  The finish is bright and fresh with finely grained tannins.
