NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Escudo Rojo Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is a remarkable wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.On the nose, Escudo Rojo Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva offers a bouquet of intense aromas. Notes of ripe blackberries, cassis, and blackcurrant are beautifully intertwined with hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla. These aromas create a harmonious and inviting experience.
The palate of this wine is equally impressive. It presents a full-bodied structure with well-integrated tannins that provide a velvety texture. The flavors of black fruits continue to shine, accompanied by layers of spice, dark chocolate, and a subtle earthiness. The wine's balanced acidity adds freshness and contributes to a long, lingering finish. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Serve it at a slightly cooler temperature to fully appreciate its complexity.
