From the Curico Valley in Chile, this cabernet sauvignon is oddly not very aromatic but has flavors of red licorice and berries. It’s odd how the nose on this is so subtle.   Being ruby in color and medium bodied, this is a very pleasing wine for those who don’t like big bold cabs, but like this grape.  Longer finish than upfront taste.  After this wine is open a few hours, you will experience some new complexity in flavors…raspberry and cherries.
