Vinya Le Havre Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva DO 2013 - Jean Leon

The Vinya Le Havre Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva from Jean Leon comes from the Spanish DO Penedès region. This red wine cuvée is vinified from Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%).

In the glass this red wine shimmers in a strong cherry red with chimney red highlights. The aromatic bouquet is dominated by dark fruits. Aromas of ripe blackberries and juicy plums unfold with subtle hints of vanilla and toasted notes. On the palate this Spanish cuvée convinces with a full-bodied body and a very good and aromatic fruit fullness. The fine, present tannins combine with spicy nuances of liquorice and clove. The delicious finish offers a wonderful, pleasant length.
