The Arboleda Cabernet Sauvignon is a serious, elegant, full-bodied wine with good structure and polished tannins. A touch of Cabernet Franc is added to the final blend to lend the wine greater firmness and tension. The final harmony is reached as it ages in French oak barrels, mostly of second use to allow the character of the terroir to be clearly identifiable. This bright, deep ruby-red Cabernet Sauvignon is very appealing on the nose with a complex character of black fruits. Pleasing aromas of black cherry, raspberry, tea leaf, tobacco, clove, chocolate and a soft smoky touch appear as it opens. This is a wine with great balance and structure, and its firm, fine-grained tannins contribute to its elegant texture, complemented by a full mid-palate and delightful juiciness.[#intro]A wine that offers the signature blackcurrant fruit and cedar notes of its grape variety…[/intro]
