Trivento Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.5%)

A red wine made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from vineyards in the Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina, and bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks before natural malolactic fermentation. The Reserve uses a split oak programme: 25% ages in French and American oak barrels for six months, while a further 25% spends time in contact with oak staves. Aroma: dark cassis and herbal notes, cherry jam, cumin, thyme, red bell pepper and chocolate. Taste: fruit-driven red plum and candied wild berries, then black pepper, tobacco and toasty oak, with spicy cloves, fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins. Finish: medium to long, with espresso and sandalwood alongside a thread of orange zest.
