Wine of the Week - Pascual Toso Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This wine comes from the area of Las Barrancas in Maipu Valley, a stunning location with premium quality soils, ideal climate and environment.

The area is located in the Mendoza, Argentina.

It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and was hand-harvested in small baskets from select lots. After fermentation the wine was aged in new oak for 12 months before bottling.

Pascual Toso Reserve has elegant style, with lovely boysenberry and raspberry fruit and plenty of vanilla, spice and chocolate shadings. The wine is lengthy and has a focused finish and sweet, but consistent tannins.

 All these notes give elegance and complexity to the wine.

The wine pairs well with red meats, lamb, Italian pasta or French cheeses.
