1895 Colección Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza
Paying tribute to the founding year of Bodega Norton, the 1895 Colección wines capture the spirit of Argentina. Each wine in the collection showcases fresh, approachable styles meant for everyday enjoyment. The Cabernet Sauvignon offers a unique high-altitude expression combining ripe red and black fruit flavors with smooth, ripe tannins.
Harvest Note
2022 was a nail-biting vintage that proved rewarding for great winemaking teams like Bodega Norton's. A dry cool spring set the tone for drought, and historic frosts reduced potential yields by nearly 25%, all leading to concentration. Nearly the entire annual rainfall came in two weeks in the early fall. Cool and dry days in late March and early April wrapped up the red wine harvest and resulted in wines that will have the acid and tannin structures for longevity.
Tasting Note
Lively ruby red color. Concentrated aromas of ripe plums, blackberries, strawberries and cassis. Very good structure, balanced tannins, and a long finish.
