This is a mellow, smooth drinking Cabernet, with well balanced acidity despite the brightness of the cherry, currant, and plum fruits. There is a splash of bittersweet dark chocolate on the tongue as well. The lingering finish has a slight mineral bite. It is versatile and food-friendly.

Stewed fruits and fig with a pleasant hint of bakings spices on the medium/long finish. It is well balanced with smooth medium tannins which don't dominate the pallate, which make this a wine that doesn't necessarily need a food pairing. Finally it's worth noting that this wine noticeablely improved after decanting (and was even better day two)! [9/6/2016]

Naked Wines find. Not one of their better reds, unfortunately. Looks and walks like a cab, blackberries and other dark fruits. Very little avid or structure. Really drinks warm and flabby while missing depth and complexity. I liken it to any major big box wine of mass production.

Better after open a couple days. Lots of blackberry and spice.

Beautiful ruby color. The nose is wet earth, and dark fruit. Dry and lingering with flavors of blackberry, dried currant and tobacco. Soft tannins. Could benefit from a little more structure, but still enjoyable.

Pretty hot and sort of flat, trying too hard to be a big napa cab without the finesse

This Chilean Cabernet is medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. The predominant flavors are blueberry, dark cherry, and oak with a tingly acidity to the finish.
