Doña Paula 2008 Los Cardos Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Los Cardos
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza Province
Winery: Doña Paula / Mendoza

Wayward and slightly weedy on the nose, with candied fruit notes that help it along. The palate is more acidic and rhubarby than ideal, although the tartness is offset by a creamy flavor of carob bean. Short and hot on the finish; acceptable but not well executed.
