Did you know that Argentina produces amazing and unforgettable Cabernets? This is a wine that everyone will absolutely fall in love with…take a sip and you will see!
Every once in a while I am surprised by a wine and this one for sure amazed me! Argentina’s continental climate is responsible for producing this luscious and balanced wine with ripe, concentrated flavors and intense color. By no means is this a “fruit bomb.” Antucura 2013 is gorgeous and refined with silky but sturdy tannins that showcase the leather and tobacco aromatics with rich ripe blackberry and cherry fruits which are highlighted by the vanilla and warm baking spices from the oak barreling. Your mouth will water.
Antucura Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is the wine for sipping and for pairing too!
Bold, full-bodied and ripe Cabernet Sauvignon like this one from Argentina is just perfect for pairing with grilled and marbled meats such as thick lamb chops and a boldly seasoned ribeye or t-bone. Meats that have a high fat content can stand side by side with this wine to complement and enhance each other and not overpower the flavors of the meal.
