***** drink or cellar Exceptional Value!
Valle Las Acequias ‘Oak’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Mendoza, $16.95 (287516) 13.0% alcohol
The Correas family arrived in Mendoza at the end of the 16th C planting vines in 1860, 4th generation family members still own and manage the winery. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon has it all. Aromas of cedar and pencil shavings—it aged ten months in French oak—precede palate-coating layers of luscious, gutsy ripe plum, blackberry and blueberry flavour. It’s velvety with soft tannin and a long, fruit-laden, spice-filled finish. Colour it … nirvana. This is deserving of fine quality steak with piquant horseradish. (Julie Stock)

Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A Cab Sauv from Mendoza, Argentina. Garnet red with a mild strawberry nose. The palate reveals ripe strawberries, cherries, red currants, mint, dill, vegetal green pepper, vanilla and pepper. it's dry with a slightly tannic mouthfeel and a long red fruit finish.
