“The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Catena Appellation Agrelo comes from La Piramide vineyard where the soils are rich in day and lime.  This wine was aged for eight months in 35% new French barrels. The nose offers ripe fruit such as redcurrant and hints of blackberry along with herbs and pepper followed by a whiff of roasted red pepper. In the mouth, it’s terse with polished tannins, grip and intense flavor alongside a voluminous flow and fruity finish. The palate is determined by the region, balanced by winemaking nous that ensures It doesn’t go overboard. This is a flavorful wine."

“It seems like Cabernet Sauvignon from warmer years is more sensitive to oak, and the 2020 Appellation Agrelo Cabernet Sauvignon shows some toast and sweet spice, and the fruit was ripe, black rather than red, and there is a notable absence of herbal aromas. It’s juicy and round, approachable and easy to drink.”
