Jean-Pascal Lacaze
Private Collection Valle Central Cabernet Sauvignon
Central Valley, Chile

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.

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.
