Comment
Red
2014 Viña Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Medalla Real Gold Medal
Rich in the nose, red fruits, capsicum freshness, the oak (2nd & 3rd use) offers sweet spices and mostly nutmeg. Give it time and you get more spices and fruit. Palate follows the same pattern. Classic in style, traditional and overall no surprises here on what to expect from such a wine of such a producer
Red
2011 Viña Santa Rita Triple C
65% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Carmenere
The wine is rich in the nose, sweet spices, vanilla, red and black fruit, cherry, elegant with a bit of alcohol heat.
The palate is again quite rich, clean, showing red fruit, a bit drying, developing, medium finish filled with sweet spices.
