Pascual Toso Cabernet Sauvignon
Price:
$19.99
A rich, characterful Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon that balances concentrated dark fruit with traditional smoky oak structure.
Crafted by Bodegas Pascual Toso, one of Mendoza’s oldest and most prestigious estates founded in 1890, this Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the stony soils of Las Barrancas in Maipú. Benefiting from high-altitude desert sunshine and cool mountain nights, the grapes develop excellent concentration and natural acidity. With a portion of the wine carefully matured in French and American oak, this bottle delivers a premium, structured profile that punches well above its price point.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: A clean, expressive nose driven by ripe plums, dark cassis, and quince, complemented by a slight touch of elegant oak and dried tobacco leaf.
- Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied and robust, featuring a rich core of blackberry, licorice, and black currant fruit framed by firm, well-integrated tannins.
- Finish: Long, warming, and focused, leaving a lingering impression of smoky vanilla, rich cocoa, and toasted oak.
Perfect Food Pairings
The firm tannins and smoky undertones of this Mendoza Cabernet make it a phenomenal partner for rich, savory dishes:
- Grill: Classic charcoal-grilled ribeye steak, barbecued beef burgers, or grilled game sausages.
- Comfort Food: Hearty tourtière (meat pie), slow-braised beef short ribs, or wood-fired pepperoni pizza.
- Mains: Roasted duck breast, lamb burgers with goat cheese, or rich pasta dishes with a savory meat bolognese.
- Social: Hard, savory cheeses like aged white cheddar, gouda, or Pecorino Romano.
