Potent and driving VA opens this dense Cabernet Sauvignon from Alto Maipo. Roasted onions, roasted meats, rubber, shellac with soft tannins lined with grippy and gritty sides to a warming finish. There is a bright lift of acidity, which was welcome. Could I tell this was Cab Sauv right away? Not really. Could I tell it was old-school Chile? Sí. Best with your grilled meats barbecue.
