Ocaso Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Ocaso is produced by Gonzalo Gouguenheim, whose winery sits forty miles west of the city of Mendoza in the foothills of the Andes. The Uco Valley, at high altitude, provides the cool nights and warm days that give the wines their freshness and aromatic precision — a hallmark of this increasingly celebrated sub-region of Mendoza.

About This Wine

A classic Cabernet Sauvignon from the Uco Valley, aged four months in American oak to add spice and vanilla complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Medium-bodied and food-friendly, it delivers the layered flavours and fresh finish that make Argentine Cabernet such great value at this level.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep ruby with purple hints
Nose: Black fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla-scented oak
Palate: Layered and fresh with chocolate, dark fruit, and warm spice; medium-bodied with balanced tannins
Finish: Fresh and lively with lingering spice and dark fruit

Food Pairing

Excellent with grilled meats, burgers, rib-eye steak, and slow-cooked beef dishes. A natural partner for BBQ.
