Tasting - "Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon 2010"

Name: Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $15
Winery Review: "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 pushed ripe plum and berry fruit along withe chocolate, and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure." - Vintage Cellar


My Review: The original hints on the nose were sweet, raspberry flavors, blackberry, and all other types of berries, pretty much a very sweet overall smell.  The taste was not as sweet as the smell, and there were hints of chocolate in the finish to go along with a harshness at the back-end.  I am not a big fan of this wine at all.  I think the flavors just didn't mend well together and was very pleasant.  Would not choose to drink this wine again.
