There is a little more ripeness on the nose of the 2016 Tonel 46 Cabernet Sauvignon, which is produced with fruit from Valle de Uco. It also comes through as medium-bodied with some grainy tannins and high acidity, which seems to be the signature here, at least in the wines from 2016. One for food.

Creme de cassis, herbal liqueur, brambleberries and some underbrush. Full body, lots of tangy fruit, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.
