Tasting - Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon

I did not pair this wine with food

Name: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95

Winemaker's Notes: This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful winemaking. This wine is full of black-fruit aromas, depth and style. The palate pushes ripe plum and berry fruit along with chocolate, and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure. 

My Review: This was a dark red wine. There were a lot of dark berries involved with the nose, including blackberry jam and wild blueberries. The wine itself was extremely dry and tannic. No joke, it was like a desert in my mouth. I would not recommend drinking this wine unless you have an excessive salivation problem.
