Tasting- Chakana Nuna Vineyard

 

Name: Chakana Nuna Vineyard


Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon


Region: Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina


Year: 2018


Price: $9.95


Shop Review: The Nuna vineyard (3,150 ft. elevation) in Agrelo is Chakana’s first Demeter certified organic vineyard. Nuna means “soul” in Quechua. Aromas of roasted red pepper and sweet red fruit with vanilla, chocolate and spice. Full-bodied with very soft tannins.


Wine Folly: pg88 Cabernet Sauvignon- black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, graphite

This wine had a nice dark fruit flavor that came out. I was able to taste the more bitter flavors such as graphite and cedar. I could not taste the baking spices

Personal Review: This was a nice dark fruit flavored wine. The wine was light in tannins from the grapes being young, and that was noticeable in its flavor. I would drink this wine again if given the opportunity.
