Serena Mode Cabernet Sauvignon
81/100
The short takeThe fruit is a Cabernet’s fruit, and it is ripe. Light tannin and modest acidity let a noticeable sweetness sit in the middle. The finish is the short side of short to medium.

In the glass
- Nose
- Blackcurrant, ripe cherry, and plum. A ripe Cabernet nose, and nothing else competing with it. No green edge and no oak. The fruit is the whole aroma.
- Palate
- Soft and fruit-forward. Sweet blackberry and red cherry lead, and they stay forward. Tannin is light, a grip you can find and then lose. Acidity is modest, so the fruit does not turn sharp. Residual sweetness is noticeable. It fills the middle and keeps the blackberry from reading dry.
- Finish
- Short to medium. Dark fruit carries it, and the close is slightly sweet. The tannin does not stay. What stays is the fruit, and then that sweetness.

How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
It tastes like a soft, sweet Cabernet. The fruit is the grape. The structure is lighter than a dry red.
The wine
It is a Cabernet nose: ripe dark fruit, with no green edge and no oak in the way. Nothing else competes. The aroma is the grape, turned toward fruit.
The palate is soft and fruit-forward. Tannin is light. You can find a little grip, and then it lets go. Residual sweetness is noticeable. Mouthfeel is soft. There is no hard edge where a bigger Cabernet would have one.
The finish is short to medium. The tannin does not linger. It leaves while the nose is still the fuller part of the glass.
This tastes like the Cabernet the label names, made softer and sweeter than a dry red. The fruit is there, and it matches from nose to palate. The limit is structure. Light tannin and modest acidity give the sweetness the room, and the finish does not hold as long as the aroma suggested. Pleasant, and not a dry Cabernet. The sweetness is part of the wine.

Research notes
It does not name a machine and does not print a volume. It prints 0,0% ABV, residual sugar 35 g/L, total acidity 6.1 g/L as tartaric acid, and pH 3.22. Winemaking on that sheet is fermentation in stainless steel, then extraction of the alcohol only. The Sauvignon Blanc sheet’s fermentation time and 36 g/L sugar are not used here.

- Volume
- Restore the explicit 0.75 L bottle size already captured in the dated original retailer observation and offer. A bot challenge on 2026-10-03 prevents a new retailer verification; the original successful date is retained.
- Price
- Global Wines lists 215 Kč for 0.75 L, Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2024, in stock. The same page names Spain as country of origin; the bottle and importer sheet say Chile, so that line was not copied.

Note
- Method
- Reopened exact 2024 Cabernet sheet on 2026-10-03. It documents stainless-steel fermentation followed by alcohol extraction but does not name a machine or provide a full ingredients declaration or barcode. Do not transfer Sauvignon Blanc technique or composition.
