Wine Expert Note:

The Santa Alicia Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva exhibits a deep ruby color, alluding to its intensity and depth. The nose is greeted with inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrant, black cherries, and plums, complemented by hints of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of green bell pepper – a classic Cabernet Sauvignon profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, showcasing a harmonious blend of dark fruit flavors and well-integrated oak. Notes of dark chocolate, a hint of cedar, and a subtle spiciness add to the complexity. The tannins are firm but smooth, providing a good structure, while the finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit and oak. This Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is a great choice for those seeking a bold and flavorful red wine that pairs well with a variety of hearty dishes.
