Casa Nueva Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Reserva 2001
A very good wine. We got this Casa Nueva Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Reserva through the Opimiam Society, and the Society's description of the 2003 vintage in a recent wine offering holds true for the 2001: "Violet red colour...Very rich in the mouth, it is round and balanced and has a luscious fruit-filled mouth-feel." They also make mention of "nuances of clean smoke," which we didn't detect when we drank it on its own, but when we had our second glasses with pasta and a rich tomato sauce, we found that the smokiness came through very clearly, especially on the finish. We recommend this one quite highly.
UPDATE: After the bottle has been open for a day...not so much.
