You want a red with a bit of swagger but nothing stiff. This is it. Tilia Cabernet pours deep ruby and tastes of ripe black fruit, blackcurrant and a whisper of mint, all wrapped in tannins so smooth they barely clear their throat. It's the bottle you crack when the grill's going and the night's just getting good. Full, soft, friendly. No homework required.
First sniff is all red and black fruit, sweet spice and that cool flick of fresh mint. Take a sip and it fills your mouth: red currant and cassis up front, then the grown-up stuff sneaks in behind it, cigar box, a little leather, ripe black fruit and a hint of chocolatey oak. The tannins are fine and gentle, just enough grip to give it shape and a long, satisfying finish. It's dry, but the fruit is so ripe it feels almost generous. Easy to like, hard to put down.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Tilia comes from Familia Zuccardi, one of the names that helped put Mendoza on the world wine map. The fruit is grown across Mendoza's eastern and central valleys, high up where hot sunny days and cool nights let Cabernet ripen slowly and keep its freshness. After fermentation it spends about six months in French oak, which is where those cigar-box and gentle chocolate notes sneak in. Tilia means linden tree, the kind that lines the streets of Mendoza. A small, lovely detail from a family that clearly sweats the details.
