Domaine Puech Cocut Cabernet Sauvignon 2006		France
This is no neutral or indistinct creation of an "industrial" winery; it is a Cabernet Sauvignon crafted with care at a small winery.

Release Notes:

Price : $11.00  Qty:  Item No. : 14198  Our Rating : 90+  Country : France  Region : Languedoc  Grape : Cabernet  Sauvignon  Alcohol : 13.5%

All of the grapes were estate-grown and come from low-yielding vineyards. The wine was aged in oak barrels for 10 months before release. Another example of the quality to be found in wines from conscientious small producers.

Tasting Notes:

Garnet violet color. Generous nose of berry fruit with a hint of coffee and bell pepper aromas. Fresh and fruity palate with good mouthfeel and soft tannins. A hint of oak on the finish. Impressive Cabernet for the price. Great with red meats, poultry, or steak. Can age for 2 to 3 more years, but it is ready to drink now.
