La Finca Clos d'Angel Colchagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Central Valley, Chile
This week my Friday's Cabernet fix is a nice surprise from Chile.
Beautiful color of dark ruby with a burgundy rim.
Nice nose of sweet cherries, black currants, oak, licorice, vanilla bean, light vegetables, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, tree bark, molasses and black pepper.
Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet plums, light vegetables, wood, vanilla, cloves, tobacco, coffee, chocolates and peppercorn.
Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very nice Cabernet from Colchagua Valley. Well balanced with nice complexity and a polished mouthfeel. Tangy finish making it interesting and enjoyable by itself.
A good food wine too. I paired it with a nice piece of steak.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and show what it can do, so take your time.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
$18.

Not very good. Smelled and tasted like tar or asphalt. I gave it time to open and it was back to paving highways sadly. I poured it down the drain :/

Very aromatic, great acid, good wine for pairing with food. Chocolate covered cherry and coffee on the palate. An excellent Cabernet at the price point.
