Estancia Cabernet Sauvignon - 750ml

Dried leather, black-plum, and purple-flower aromas emerge on the nose of this bottling, inviting a deeper exploration. The bouquet feels composed and intriguing, with an earthy, almost vintage richness that hints at cellar-aged complexity. Dried oregano and bay leaf contribute a savory herbaceous lift, adding an aromatic backbone that threads through the entire tasting. These green and resinous notes sit alongside the fruit core, creating a confident tension between herbal spice and dark fruit that promises both elegance and persistence.

On the palate, the wine presents with a mouthfeel that carries its aromatics forward in a measured, deliberate way. The dried oregano returns, imbuing the mid-palate with a savory, almost Mediterranean character, while the bay leaf lends a subtle, minty-green nuance that helps frame the finish. The black-plum remains the dominant fruit element, offering plump, ripe notes that are tempered by a touch of earthiness and by a faint, incense-like nuance that lingers at the back of the palate. The overall balance feels precise, with moderate acidity and a tannic structure that supports the fruit without clamping it down.

As it evolves in the glass, searchable hints of leather deepen, echoing the initial aroma and weaving a tactile, tactile-sense richness into the wine. The perfume of the purple flowers resurfaces briefly, providing a delicate floral lift that lightens the palate’s heavier, savory aspects. The finish extends with a lasting impression of resinous herbs, black-plum sweetness, and a whisper of smoke, inviting another sip to re-enter this layered, thoughtful profile. Overall, the wine presents as both robust and nuanced—densely flavored, yet gracefully articulated, and aligned with a wine enthusiast’s appreciation for texture, aroma, and a cohesive savory fruit finish.
