2007 Chillag Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Solo

Decanted. 18 months in French barriques. Very ripe and jammy. Deep and powerful, with full bodied and good backbone of tannins and acidity. Should be cellared for a few years (23$)

2008 Chillag Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Primo

Gentle and elegant on the nose. Ripe fruits on the palate. Deep and rich. Medium to full bodied, round and elegant on the mouth too. Tannins and acidity will allow it to age and improve for a few years (36$)
