Tasting- Atlas Cumbres Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon (red)-

Name: Atlas Cumbres
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: N/A
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $15

Shop/wine critic/winery review: Intense red color with violet highlights, with clean, fresh and complex aromas of berries, plums, figs and pepper. Strong personality is in perfect balance with a medium body and pleasant tannins. Ideal for: red meats, cheeses and strong sauces.






My review: There’s an extremely strong smell and I would be able to tell I’m going to hate this before even realizing it’s a Cab Sauv. I feel like I can smell the tannins it’s so strong and there’s a vinegar bite to it as well. It tastes…bad. Not surprising considering my reaction to every Cab Sauv I’ve ever been served. It needs food, needs softening, maybe aging to mellow some of the tannins. It’s just a nasty typical tannic red.

CONCLUSION: Would not drink again.  


Not tasted with food
