Antigal UNO Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 |
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 8 months in French and American oak.
90 Points - James Suckling
“Antigal UNO Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 displays a ruby red color of medium intensity. Primary aromas of red and black fruits with slight herbal notes are underscored by white pepper, spices, and hints of vanilla, coconut and chocolate. On the palate this well-balanced wine has a touch of elegant wood, and softly rounded tannins provide a silky, velvety mouthfeel.”
Immediately on arrival at the winery, hand-selected Cabernet Sauvignon grape clusters from heavily pruned vines in one of Antigal’s high-lying Uco Valley vineyards were chilled to 42°F. to prevent oxidation. Starting with labor-intensive double-sorting and ending with oak-aging in French and American barrels, every step in the winemaking process was carried out with the gentle approach necessary to retain the fruit’s true varietal character and well-balanced acidity.
