Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2011
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis all Maipo fruit cabernet exhibits the regional aromas of cassis/menthol/bay leaf with an earthy, chocolate undercurrent. The attack is dry and fresh the tannins light with blackcurrant, black olives and mocha/chocolate flavours rubbed with 'boldo' or wild dried herbs. Some 60% of the wine is aged in American oak barrels the remainder in stainless steel vats. A great value for cabernet drinkers who love to grill meat on the barbecue.Tasted: 13 August 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $15.00 | 750ml | general listing |
