Los Cucos de la Alberquilla Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006
Wow, this Cabernet from the Jumilla region of Spain strengthens my belief that the wines of Spain are some of the best wine values available. This wine sells for about $10 at Esquin Wine Merchants in Seattle. On the nose is a delicious mix of black raspberry, cherries and brown sugar. The color is a lovely dark ruby that is nearly opaque. This is a medium to full bodied wine that with a smooth mouth feel with well integrated tannins. The flavors are typical cabernet with dark berry and cherry with a hint of cacao, mineral and marshmallow. There is enough acidity to pair well with a wide range of food. This is a smooth, luscious red that is a great quality at this price point. If you want to try a "New World" wine from Spain, seek out Los Cucos. Great.
