DH and I went shopping to Miramar Shopping Center in Fuengirola this afternoon. A friend gave us a Gift card to spend in Zara Homes so off we went. It was a rainy afternoon, actually the first day of proper rain in this Winter season so far so it wasn't so bad to be in a Shopping Mall.
After an hour rummaging in Zara Home and expending all the credit in the Gift card in only 2 items, we enjoyed a beautiful lunch and before going back home we stopped at the supermarket to buy dog and cat food but we got lost at this big supermarket and ended up at the wine and beer isles… some new bottles of cabernet sauvignon and Duff beer we didn't plan to get and we were heading back to our lair.
When we got back home the storm was getting worse so the night called for candles, wine and something good to watch on TV.
This wine was born in 1960 in Viñas San Pedro and has won several prices and awards in later years. Today, Viña San Pedro is the leading and largest winery in the VSP Wine Group.
Gato Negro is fairly cheap, at 5.45€ the bottle it's way better than you would expect from the price.
According to the Viña San Pedro website, Gato Negro has “over delivered at its price point for decades”, and I cannot but totally agree with that statement.
This is an intense flavour Cabernet full of red fruits, plum and vanilla aromas. Lovely and rich on the mouth it is a perfect pair to a cozy night with your beloved or a nice gathering of friends. People say that normally Cabernet should be paired with red meats, but in this occasion and this particular wine went down well with just some bread (I love having bread and wine together).
Gato Negro - Cabernet Sauvignon went down so well actually, that in no time we saw the bottom of the bottle while chatting on a rainy night.
My opinion: Fantastic for its price. Will definitely buy some more.
