This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from Chile’s Maipo Valley and bottled by California’s Delicato Household Wines company, is estate-grown and aged for a mean of 6 months in French Oak barrels. Because the story goes, the grapes have been grown midway up a mountain at a century-old winery that had been forgotten for a while. Nature, through earthquakes, snowmelt and wind, stripped away the soil and vitamins which left behind naked floor largely consisting of rock. One way or the other the vines survived and thrived, free to develop on their very own accord. Positive. Discoveries and calamities apart, let’s give this a attempt.
The nostril evokes over-ripened blackberry, oak, and graphite, a mixture that finally finds some footing, however decanting is required. Issues enhance on the palate, showcasing extra blackberry, mint, and a pleasant contact of clove. The oak affect turns into evident on the end, and the mint steals the highlight from the darker fruit for a lightweight, clear conclusion. The nostril by no means fairly types itself out, however all is forgiven by the top of the glass.
