Vega Sindoa 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Spain), $7.99-$17.99, 89 points, poured a deep pomegranate red with a broad clear wine ring and a necklace of stained legs.
Aromas were smoky and floral with hints of pine resin, chocolate, red raspberry, and cinnamon: quite deep and lovely.
Vega Sindoa was not full-bodied like a Napa Cab, but rich for an inexpensive Cabernet Sauvignon. Showed good acidity, a firm plank of tannin, flavors of savory, anise, red raspberry, blackberry cordial, and a hint of chocolate.
Finished long on iron and plum notes, licorice, and red pepper with a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my roast beef sub.
This a high QPR red wine, not a soft Merlot or Malbec, but not a tight Bordeaux either.
