Wine Tasting: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Neu Direction
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $15

Shop review: 
This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful 
wine making. This wine is full of black fruit aromas, depth, and style. The palate 
pushes ripe plum and berry fruit along 
with chocolate, and the finish is chewy 
and correct in terms of tannin and 
structure.

My review:  The wine smelled earthy and moldy, but it was pleasant, which I found interesting. I'd describe it as an unpicked cherry orchard that let the fruit ripen and decompose. The first taste brought some heat and dryness, but then the wine mellowed out and tasted more of strawberry and cherry.
