Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileIf you haven’t tried a Chilean cabernet in some time, this label is a fun one to begin with. Intense, dark, and full-bodied, it is stuffed full of boldo, the Chilean equivalent of garrigue. The attack is warm and round, the tannins slippery, the fruit a mix of blackberries and brambleberries with resiny, cedar, and tobacco flecks throughout. Ready to drink but will hold through 2027. Think grilled beef or rich winter vegetable dishes.Tasted: 10 November 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
