A Cabernet Sauvignon From Yecla, Spain

A Cabernet Sauvignon From Yecla, Spain:
Can you get a bargain kosher Cabernet Sauvignon From Spain?...

Terroso Cabernet Sauvignon Castaño 2009 14% alcohol about $10

There were no marketing materials and the label only discussed kosher issues. Furthermore, a short tour of the web unearthed no review to quote. And now for my review.

At the first sips I found the wine slightly sweet but on the thin side. It had good balance and acidity with soft tannins. The fruit was mostly plums. My initial meal centered on slow-cooked beef ribs with potatoes. The wine was long and tasted of chocolate.When I added a good dose of Louisiana hot sauce, the Cab remained basically the same. It did not shrink. With the accompanying cold beets this wine became even longer. But fresh strawberries flattened it.

This review of a Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon continues on my website.
