This 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from Viña Kaiken expresses the mineral-driven character of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir with considerable restraint and structure. The wine displays the region's hallmark ripe dark fruit alongside firm tannins and a saline minerality that speaks to the alluvial soils of the vineyard. At fourteen percent alcohol, it maintains elegant proportions without excessive ripeness, offering sufficient complexity for measured cellaring over the next five to seven years. Pair this with grass-fed beef or mature sheep's cheese to appreciate its textural grip and evolving bouquet.
