Deep red. Ripe cherry and plum aromas are complemented by dark chocolate and dried rose. Gently sweet and round, offering fleshy, slightly bitter cherry and dark berry flavors and no obvious tannins.
89pts Vinous Media– 2016 vintage
“Deep ruby. Dried cherry, redcurrant and licorice on the nose, which picks up a smoky nuance with air. Offers bitter cherry and flavors that show good depth and are enlivened by a peppery nuance. Finishes on a bitter chocolate note, with dusty tannins and good, spicy persistence. (all used French oak) Drink 2020 – 2025.”
87+pts View from the Cellar– 2016 vintage
“The 2016 Casa l’Angel Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a vineyard lying at six hundred meters above sea level, with good diurnal swings during the growing season. It is raised primarily in stainless steel tanks, with the wine only seeing three months in older French casks during its elevage. The wine offers up a good bouquet of red and black cherries, cigar wrapper, a touch of garrigue, lovely soil tones and a touch of cedar in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and moderately tannic, with a good core of ripe fruit, gently chewy tannins and a long, youthful and focused finish. This could use a year or two in the cellar to soften up a bit on the backend, but I like the depth and potential complexity here, and this is a lot of wine for fourteen dollars here in the US! Good honest
juice!” 2020-2035+.”
