This single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon Spanish red wine belongs to the "Varietals Collection" of the Enate winery.
The first vintage of Enate Cabernet-Cabernet wine was released in 2014. As with the rest of the single varietal wines that form the collection, the aim of the wine is to express the particular qualities of a grape in its purest form.
Made from grapes coming from the best plots of the winery, this varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from Somontano was meticulously vinified, and then aged for 18 months in new barrels.
The classy label of Enate Cabernet-Cabernet 2012 was designed by the prestigious Ibiza-based German painter Erwin Bechtold.
Appearance | The red wine Enate Cabernet-Cabernet has a nice, clean cherry colour with some reddish glints and a garnet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Precise and well-structured, this Cabernet Sauvignon by Enate conveys rich aromas of ripe red fruit, menthol, vegetables, spices, dry earth, balsam, chocolate, charcoal and carob beans. |
Palate | Powerful and elegant, with an impressive structure and a great freshness. Red fruit, some smokey touches and mineral undertones, a dash of fine wood and old leather, and remembrances of Eastern spices. This Reserva red wine has a well-balanced acidity, some ripe tannins, and a long, balsamic finish. |
Our personal opinion | Refreshingly non-pyraziney, Enate Cabernet-Cabernet 2012 is one of the best Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced in Spain. |
