Cousiño-Macul Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon

Cousiño-Macul Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon

Since the debut in 1927, Antiguas Reservas has always been a limited selection of the very best Cabernet Sauvignon from the Cousiño-Macul estate vineyards. Over the years, Cousiño-Macul has maintained its classic style by combining New World ripeness with Old World elegance, finesse and a framework to age long and well.

Tasting Notes

Showcasing a dark ruby color, this wine offers intense fruit aromas of berry, delicate cocoa, fresh herbs and light toast followed on the palate by harmonious flavors of ripe black plums and blackberry fruit. Medium-bodied, this wine has a persistent and complex finish and a structure that allows it to be enjoyed now or left to age for up to a decade.

Food Pairing

This wine can easily be paired with a great porterhouse steak to Penne Arrabiata.
