Tasting - Atlas Cumbres

Name: Atlas Cumbres
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Cuyo
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: Sale $6.95

Winery Review: "Intense red color with violet highlights, with clean, fresh and complex aromas of berries, plums, figs and pepper. Strong personality is in perfect balance with a medium body and pleasant 
tannins. Ideal for: red meats, cheeses and strong sauces."

My Review: There was apricot, prunes, and black cherry on the nose. On the palate there was a spicy, peppery finish with licorice, pomegranates, and red berries. Tannins were not overwhelming and complemented the fruit and pepper notes very well. The surface texture was grainy and had a bite to it. I did not pair this with food, but I think it would pair well with dark meat or korean bbq meat.
