Bodega Ruca Malen Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Bodega Ruca Malen Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Uco Valley region of Mendoza. Aromas of blackberries and preserved figs fill the nose, with peppery notes emerging slowly. It is ripe on the palate, rounded, and elegant with sweet tannins and a pleasant acidity. The long finish shows notes of chocolate and vanilla. Ageing takes place in 85% French and 15% American oak barrels of first and second-use for 10-12 months.
