Ruta 7 Selección 3 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Mendoza’s “red wines are generally described as intense, powerful and deeply colored, not to mention expressive.”
–Stephen Tanzer, Decanter

From the steep, snowy Andes to the Atlantic coast, Ruta Nacional 7 runs east-west through many of Argentina’s beloved winemaking regions. Our experts know this route well—they often travel it to seek out best-value, high-quality wines for our customers. On a recent trip through premium Mendoza, we discovered this ultra-rich king of the reds.

You may read Mendoza and think Malbec, but the region’s Cabernet Sauvignon also warrants praise. The high-altitude vineyards—many established in the mid-1500s—provide ideal growing conditions. Grapes ripen perfectly over warm, sunny days and their intense aromas are locked in on chilly nights.

Cabernet Sauvignon’s popularity contributes to it being one of the world’s most commonly grown red grapes. Winemakers love to produce the thick-skinned fruit, as the grapes grow on hardy vines that are resistant to frost, rot and other vineyard maladies. A consistent favorite—Cabs are known for being rich, black fruit-filled and long-lived reds.

Open this exclusive release and you’ll experience red fruit and pepper aromas, plus ripe and luscious dark fruit and subtle mint flavors. A perfect match with beef, this wine is ready to star at your summer barbecue. It’s also an elegant accompaniment to roasted lamb, pork or dark-meat poultry.
