Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileIn 2016 the start was early and warm, followed by a warm summer. Temperatures finally drop at harvest, but persistent rains made strategic picking necessary. Look for a medium-weight cab with the kind of elegance you would expect from the house of Lafite. The palate is more savoury red fruit than black, with a spicy mid-palate and a dusting of wild herbs (boldo). Best with grilled meats.Tasted: 05 May 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
