Wolf’s Head Cabernet Sauvignon Argentina 2021

This Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon represents a modern, refined approach to the variety, moving away from the heavy, over-extracted styles sometimes associated with high-altitude reds. The wine is crafted to emphasize elegance and complexity, utilizing a specific aging regimen to integrate its structural components before it even reaches the consumer.

Wine Description

• Appearance: The wine shows a beautiful cherry red color, notably accented by youthful violet tints on the rim.

• Aroma: It features intense aromas of spice, with a core of black and red fruit seasoned with distinct notes of pepper.

• Palate: On the palate, the experience is layered; dark fruit flavors are interwoven with spice. It possesses a persistent tannin structure that is expertly balanced by a plush, refreshing acidity.

• Finish: The wine concludes with a beautiful, long finish that highlights its refined and well-balanced nature.

• Technical Details: This offering is aged for 10 months in oak barrels, followed by an additional 6 months of bottle aging before its commercial release to ensure maximum smoothness and complexity.

Food Pairing

The elegant structure and spicy undertones of this Cabernet make it a versatile partner for a variety of savory dishes:

• Grilled Meats: Traditional Argentinian asado, specifically lean cuts like flank steak (entraña) or sirloin, will complement the wine's peppery notes.

• Earthier Flavors: Roast lamb with rosemary or a rich mushroom risotto provides an excellent savory counterpoint to the dark fruit layers.

• Hard Cheeses: Mature cheeses like Manchego or aged Gouda pair well with the wine's persistent tannins.
