Waitrose Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

null

£7.99 13.5% Red 5/5

This 2005 reserva is an exceptionally smooth cabernet sauvignon that carries its 13.5% with full-bodied ease. The full retail price is £8.99 so with a pound off it represents fantastic value for money.

Waitrose in association with Valdi Vieso sourced the grapes from a selection of vineyards in the Maipo Valley, a premium area for cabernet sauvignon.

The bottle notes recommend red meats and especially braised lamb as an accompaniment to this wine, although I have to say it went down very well on its own.
