By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.

I like the varietal purity of the 2018 Susana Balbo Signature Cabernet Sauvignon and the way the palate shows rounder tannins than the 2017 I tasted next to it. It's spicy and peppery, expressive and clean. The oak seems to be better integrated and there is more freshness and better overall balance. 50,000 bottles produced. It contains some 5% Malbec and was bottled in June 2019.

Oenologists are well aware that a touch of Malbec softens up a Cabernet Sauvignon. In this case the measure is 5% and both came from Gualtallary, Uco Valley, before being 30% aged in new French barrels. Intense red in the glass with a purple meniscus. The nose delivers aromas of roasted bell pepper, fresh plum and black currant with a hint of mint. But it really comes into its own in the mouth: good body, excellent flow and fruitiness with firm tannins and well-judged intensity of flavor.
Winery Notes
Deep red color. This wine has vibrant aromas of black fruit, tobacco and pepper with spicy-floral hints. It has an intense and well-balanced acidity. The oak is beautifully integrated with elegant and fine-grained tannins. A subtle minerality provides freshness and good length. Pair with beef, pork, lamb, quail and other game birds. Also, it pairs well with cream-based sauces.
