LEYENDA ULTRA CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2017 Vistalba Vineyard, Mendoza
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer KAIKEN
One of 72 items (60% of 136 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. Any item not tasted is assigned an interim ZERO-STAR (-) rating and an interim 0-POINT proxy score until properly assessed. The 2016 last appeared in Vintages (**/**+) on November 24, 2018 at $19.95 and was an Explorer Selection. Here is my previous note: Extremely deep intense purple colour. Spicy, cedary, slightly baked plum-cherry nose with some fairly herbal notes. Dry, medium bodied, spicy, somewhat cedary, slightly peppery, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, high acid, somewhat reedy finish. This REPEAT has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with the same lot number L17360 on the back label. CSPC 135202

LCBO Note Status
Kaiken is the Argentine venture of renowned Chilean winemaker Aurelio Montes, and the Ultra line is made with the best grapes from his vineyards east of the Andes. Expect a ripe, concentrated wine with bountiful black fruit, seamlessly integrated oak and fine structure. This is a wine that will reward some ageing; consider allowing it another three years or so, or enjoy it tonight with herbed roast beef served rare. Price $ 19.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
Tasting Date vintages release - July 6, 2019
Cases bought 558 (12 bottles per case)
