Sean,
You nailed this one, buddy! I just had a 1/2 bottle of this wine for lunch at a local Miami restaurant and was left wanting more. My meal consisted of roast suckling pig with moros (rice and black beans mixed) and maduros (fried seet plantains). Of course, the lechon (piglet) was doused in onions and garlic.
I have had many different Spanish, Italian, French and Napa Valley wines with this type of meal, but this Perez Cruz absolutely made that meal insanely good. It almost brought me to tears! The flavors did not buckle with either of the meals components, nor did it overpower them. This is one wine that will be a staple in my “fake” (read strange little refrigerator) urban wine cellar.
My wife does not like Cabernet Sauvignon at all. She fell in love with this wine, today as well, and contimplated having more. However, duty calls and we had to get back to work. I see a visit to this fine establishment will take place again tomorrow as they present the famous “Caja China” suckling pig (Basically a whole pig roasted in a box-like contraption, usually buried in the earth! Hey, don’t knock it! It is the sweetest and most moist pork you will ever have the privelege of consuming!).
Cheers!
Sean,
Any idea where I can find this wine to purchase (other than the restaurant) in Miami? I am coming up empty everywhere I turn.
Cheers!
I could not agree more. I was “late discovering” it two years ago but since then it has been the red wine of choice. For less than C$15 you get a wine that beats French and Italian wines considerably more expensive.
This was the best wine we have ever had. Unfortunately we only were able to have it twice. I have no longer been able to find it. The 2006 does not compare at all.

hello!
has anyone been able to locate the perez cruz cabernet sauvignon 2006 in the US¿?? i just sent an email to their export director to see where it may be available.. i had it in medellin several times and as sean said, if i met anyone from the winery im afraid i would be perceived as scary stalker as well! i loved it and cannot stop thinking about it. i did not care for the 2007 nearly as much, and have never tried the 2005… christina
