Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 9, 2015 - regardless of region, this is a killer cabernet for $17 on sale!

big chilean nose of black fruit, tar, and cedar. black pepper, spice, and medicinal green herbs.

medium-full body with ample acidity and spicy tannin. this youthful character makes it seem lighter than it is.

palate of deep blackcurrant, tangy raspberry, cement, chocolatey french oak and an ashy mineral note. chile's distinctive cedar and pepper notes show themselves but do not dominate the palate. the high acid and young tannins are present, and need time to integrate, but are still approachable now.

this has everything i look for in a new world cabernet under $20. ripe black fruit, rich oak, and bright mineral undercurrant. will buy more for the cellar.
