Tierra Salvage Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, 13.5% alcohol about $10.

There were no marketing materials so let’s start by quoting the back label. “Origin: This wine is made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape produced under the excellent microclimatic conditions of the Lontué Valley. Tasting Characteristics: A young wine of ruby color and fruity aroma. Soft, well balanced body, easy to drink, intense. Recommended to accompany seasoned red and white meats. Best served at room temperature (18º C - 64º F).” And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine was very refreshing with nice acidity and dark cherries. The initial meal centered on kube, ground beef with ground bulgar jackets swimming in a sour sauce brimming with kale. The Cab was long and fruity, offering almost no tannins but a touch of chocolate. This wine had power. After I added lots of Louisiana hot sauce the wine soured and lost its edge. When paired with the side salad composed of broccoli shoots, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and red onions this drink became too sweet and also too acidic.
