Tasting - Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: Regular Price $15 Sale Price $7.95

Shop Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful winemaking. This wine is full of black-fruit aromas, depth and style. The palate pushes ripe plum fruit along with chocolate, and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure.

My Review:  Good wine. On the nose, hints of light leather with predominantly cherry. The palate continues the leather trend. I did not get the depth of character the shop review claimed was there. Low acid and alcohol. Medium tannins, complextity, and length. Overall a sort of loose wine really lacking in body.
