Wine Review: This hazy and dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile opens with a shoe polish and graphite bouquet with hints of cassis, black olive, and old book leather. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, polished, and fresh. The flavor profile is espresso and black olive blend with notes of graphite and blackberry. We also detected hints of oak, Baker’s chocolate, and cassis. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and its moderate dusty tannins stick around for quite some time. We would pair this rustic Cabernet Sauvignon with burnt ends or with a black and blue burger. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: The color is intense, deep ruby-red with violet highlights. The nose, intense and potent revealing black fruit aromas with predominant notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry. Spices such as black pepper gradually mingled with subtle aromas of cedarwood, vanilla, caramel, and toasted hazelnuts imparted by oak ageing. The palate starts out lush and complex with good concentration accompanied by elegantly structured and wonderfully ripe tannins. Nicely balanced with a natural freshness that brings out a complex aromatic expression where wild blueberry and blackberry notes elegantly intertwine with Asian spices and a hint of toffee. The exceptionally persistent finish combines power and elegance, accounting for this wine's excellent ageing potential.
