Casa Madero Cabernet Sauvignon Valle de Parras Gran Reserva 2018

Importer notes: "Casa Madero owns and operates the oldest vineyards and winery in the entire American continent, dating back to the late 16th century! Located in the north central part of Mexico in Coahuila, at the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Parras Valley is blessed with abundant water and the high elevation of 5000 feet provides warm days and cool nights. Today, the modern winery is leading the modernization and future of winemaking in Mexico. The winery is the first winery in the Americas to be recognized as a Grandes Pagos, the highest designation a winery can receive from the Spanish government. And the wines have won 800 medals to date at some of the most important international wine competitions around the world. Tasting Notes: Ripe blue and black fruits, with distinctive aromas of rosemary, menthol, and baking spices. A hefty dose of oak and vanilla, this is a meaty wine perfect with a rack of lamb, a grilled rib eye steak, or other plato fuerte. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon."
