Description
The 100% varietal grapes in the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Pago Valdebellon come from a plot in the middle of the forest near the winery, one of the highest points on property. The limestone soils provide relatively high acid retention, and it shows. Varietal herbaceousness in the form of bell pepper and pyrazines decreases in the bottle as the wine opens. Fine tannins surround a medium-bodied core of blackberry, cedar, and cigar box. This should age beautifully 20-25 years.

Cabernet Sauvignon
By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
