Carmen Nativa Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileNativa is organic but it shows far more fresh black pepper and gamy, meaty, minty, spicy characters than anything resembling fruit. It's dry and somewhat tight on the plate with more peppery, earthy, rootsy, minty spice flavours and some lean tannins. It's hot without a lot fruit to boot.Tasted: 10 March 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
