Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

With an exceptional red color with purple hues, this Cabernet Sauvignon shows spicy notes of black pepper, highlighted by a 5% Cabernet Franc that also adds some fresh notes of mint along with blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. Traces of clove, walnut and red pepper enhance its complexity. It has an excellent balance between acidity and round ripe tannins, which gives a distinct personality, with a long and seductive finish. Its elegant palate offers some spicy flavors, good acidity and abundant fine-grained tannins.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    Cedar, vanilla, tobacco and earthy aromas blend with mellow berry scents to form a welcoming nose. This feels wide and blocky but healthy and balanced. Flavors of berry, herbs and spice are prototypical Cabernet flavors, while a spicy, peppery, dry finish gives a classy ending. Drink through 2018.

    A pretty and balanced cabernet with hints of currants and sweet tobacco character. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a polished finish. Drink now.

Finca El Origen, South America
Finca El Origen Las Pintadas Vineyards Winery Image
Finca el Origen is the Argentinean winery of the Carolina Wine Brands winery cluster, the fourth most important group in Chile volume-wise. Located in Vista Flores, at 1 200 m.a.s.l. (3 900 feet), our estate has a poor soil of an alluvial origin, deep and permeable, filled with pebble stone and sand, which allows the vine to grow with a perfect natural balance. Due to the high altitude, the vines receive a lot of sun exposure which, along with a continental desert climate with wide thermal amplitudes, contributes to the development of grapes with thick skins, rendering concentrated wines with very deep colors and explosive floral aromas. The mountain clean air and the thawing limpid water used to irrigate imprint a unique purity in our wines.

The Uco Valley is located at the foothills of the Andes mountain range. Millions of years ago, some parts of the mountain range were submerged under the sea, which explains the presence (at more than 1 200 m/3 900 ft.a.s.l.) of sea fossils like the ammonite, which represents us through our logo. They are considered silent witnesses of the origin of the Andes and today, by being part of our genuine terroir, are witnesses of the origin of our wines.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Uco Valley Wine

Mendoza, Argentina

View all products

With a winning combination of cool weather, high elevation and well-draining alluvial soils, it is no surprise that Mendoza’s Uco Valley is one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine regions in Argentina. Healthy, easy-to-manage vines produce low yields of high-quality fruit, which in turn create flavorful, full-bodied wines with generous acidity.

This is the source of some of the best Malbec in Mendoza, which can range from value-priced to ultra-premium. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay also perform well here.
