Viña Chocalán Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2018
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis is a full-throttle Maipo cabernet sauvignon that doesn't pull any punches. From liqueur-like black fruits to dried mint and bay leaf to mocha coffee oak, it packs a lot in for $18. Led by a sweet attack, not a surprise given this ripeness level and 14% abv, the palate is medium-full bodied, dense, and smooth, with a dry, grippy finish.Good value. 85 percent cabernet sauvignon and 15 percent cabernet franc.Tasted: 01 November 2020Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $17.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
