Catena Agrelo Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (750ML)

92 Points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate: "The varietal 2019 Appellation Agrelo Cabernet Sauvignon is herbal and peppery, with fine-grained tannins and good freshness. It shows good ripeness and typicity and is fruit-driven and dry. 72,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2020." 03/21

92 Points, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous: "During dry years, Agrelo is an ideal terroir for Cabernet Sauvignons, thanks to its clay-rich soils, which prevent moisture imbalances. Spending 12 months in 35% new French oak, this wine is a treat for the tongue: purplish-red in the glass with notes of black currant and hawthorn, a touch of wood and some minty pyrazines as part of a compact, medium-bodied structure featuring muscular but smooth tannins. Floral at the back of the mouth. Two glasses is the minimum recommended dose for this wine." 08/20

93 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "Lots of brambleberry and blackberry aromas with some currants and hints of fresh herbs. Full-bodied with layers of ripe fruit and firm tannins that give the wine depth and structure. Try after 2023, when it will soften slightly and show more beauty." 04/21
