Achaval Ferrer, Mendoza (Argentina) Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Aug 15, 2014

By Michael Apstein

Achaval Ferrer produces an easy-to-recommend Malbec and this Cabernet Sauvignon shows they are more than a one-horse show.  Their Cabernet has the same energy and acidity of their Malbec, but, as a plus in my mind, more herbal savory notes — even a touch of green olive.  All of this is wrapped in supporting tannins.  In short, it has more going on.  Another good choice for beef on the grill.
