Erasmo 2009
Valle del Maule, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis dry farmed cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, syrah is from a single vineyard on the ancient estate of la Reserva de Caliboro in Maule Valley, fermented wild and cultivated organically. Twelve months in French oak plus another year in the bottle before being bottled unfiltered has created a softly textured, medium-bodied red. Black plum, slight medicinal cherry, easy dark fruits, leather sit comfortably on tannins worn soft with time. Acidity is still lifted, though not quite enough to counter the drying finish. Pleasant, honest, showing its age; drink now, with pork stews.Tasted: 07 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| US | $30.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
