Origin: Argentina, Mendoza

Production & Aging: Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation and partial barrel fermentation.

Staff Note: "A benchmark expression of Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing remarkable finesse and depth for its value."

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and a hint of mint, complemented by subtle notes of cedar and tobacco leaf.

Palate: Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, offering concentrated dark fruit flavors, well-integrated tannins, and a complex structure with hints of dark chocolate and spice.

Finish: Lingering and elegant, with a persistent warmth and notes of ripe plum and a touch of graphite.

Serving & Mixology Guide

How to Enjoy: Best served slightly below room temperature, around 60-65°F (16-18°C).

Top Cabernet Sauvignon Cocktails: Cabernet Manhattan: A sophisticated twist on the classic, using Cabernet Sauvignon to add dark fruit complexity and a smoother finish to the rye whiskey base. Bordeaux Blend Inspired Drink: Muddle fresh berries with a touch of simple syrup, add Cabernet Sauvignon and a splash of brandy for a fruity, wine-forward cocktail. Spiced Wine Refresher: Combine chilled Cabernet Sauvignon with muddled orange slices, cinnamon stick, and a splash of soda for a refreshing, lightly spiced beverage.

Occasion: Ideal for sophisticated dinners, casual sipping, and entertaining guests.

Gourmet Food Pairings

Pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb chops, prime rib, and dark chocolate lava cake.

Pro-Tip: Try this with a slow-cooked beef stew to allow the wine's robust tannins and fruit notes to perfectly complement the rich, savory flavors.

The Brand Story & Heritage

Crafted by Susana Balbo, a trailblazing winemaker renowned for her pioneering spirit in Argentine viticulture, this Cabernet Sauvignon embodies a philosophy of balance and expression. Her approach harmonizes deep-rooted tradition with innovative techniques, resulting in wines that are both classic in character and distinctly modern in their appeal.

Why It Stands Out

Compared to other Cabernet Sauvignon products, Susana Balbo's bottling is distinguished by its exceptional balance of fruit intensity, elegant structure, and nuanced oak integration. It is the perfect choice for the drinker who appreciates a refined, age-worthy red wine that delivers complexity without overwhelming the palate.

The Bottom Line

A reliable, high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon that belongs on every home bar for its consistent excellence and approachable complexity.
