Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Medalla Real Gran Reserva 2021
Buin, Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe 2021 mixes 93/4/3 cabernet sauvignon / petit verdot / cabernet franc from the famed Alto Jahuel, Maipo. A cooler than normal February and March have yielded a richly flavoured black and blue fruit cabernet with a stylish, minty, bay leaf, savoury aroma. The palate is a soupy mix of red and black fruits with a lovely savoury undercurrent, announcing an impressive modern example of where Chilean cabernet is in 2021. I love the value.Tasted: 13 August 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.28 | 750ml | select private retailers |
