Torres 2016 Mas La Plana Cabernet Sauvignon

Penedès, Spain

Produced since 1870 from vineyards located in the foothills of the Mediterranean that benefit from the warm sun and cooling sea breezes. The colour is a deep ruby with purple hues. Aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries and plums dominate, along with notes of licorice and sweet spices. Taste is medium-bodied, with a pleasing balance of ripe fruit, earthy minerality, and elegant tannins. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of sweet spices and ripe fruit. Pair it with roasted meats, hearty stews, earthy pasta and other savoury dishes. The wine is ready to drink now, but has the potential to age for the next five to seven years.
