Pulenta La Flor Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 14.5%)

Pulenta La Flor Cabernet Sauvignon is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is fermented in both stainless steel tanks and concrete pools. Pulenta Estate was founded in 2002 by Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo. Alcoholic fermentation is split between stainless steel tanks and concrete pools, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation exclusively in concrete. The wine then rests for six months in second and third-use French oak barrels. The nose has ripe blackberries, mulberries, dried herbs, violets, leafy undertones, walnuts, eucalyptus, spiced red pepper and plum jam. The palate brings blackcurrant, dark plum, milk chocolate, toasted peppercorn, powdery tannins and a chalky feel. The finish carries sweet pipe tobacco, coconut, chocolate, bay leaf and cracked pepper.
