Viña Alicia Morena Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Viña Alicia Morena Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 offers something increasingly difficult to find on the retail shelf: mature Cabernet Sauvignon with meaningful bottle age at an approachable price.

Produced by boutique Mendoza estate Viña Alicia, Morena showcases the depth of Argentine Cabernet while allowing several years of bottle development to add another dimension of complexity. Dark cassis, blackberry and plum are joined by evolving notes of cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, earth and spice.

The 2017 vintage is now entering a particularly interesting stage of maturity, where Cabernet's primary fruit begins integrating with its more savory secondary characteristics. Structured tannins and fresh acidity make this an excellent bottle for Cabernet drinkers looking for something beyond the familiar California profile.
