Santa Rita
Casa Real Reserva Especial Valle del Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon
Maipo Valley, Central Valley, Chile
The best wine they offer by a country mile.
On the nose, beautiful, ruby, ripe dark currants. Blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, plum, creamy raspberries, sweet, moist, dark soil, dry stone, dry top soil, touch of black licorice, soft spice, light incense, fresh dark flowers, lavender & violets.
The body is full yet feels lite in the mouth. The tannins are firm, but rounded, softened & beautiful. The fruits are ripe & very ruby. Blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, plum, creamy raspberries, sweet, moist, dark soil, dry stone, dry top soil, touch of black licorice & tarry notes, soft spice, light incense, slight vegetal character here & there, soft leather, graphite, expresso roast, soft, beautiful grainy minerals, tobacco leaf, fresh dark flowers, lavender & violets for days. The acidity is round and near perfect. Excellent, structure, tension, great length and well balanced. The long, elegant finish goes on and on. Easy to drink now but better in 7-8 years. Best drinking window, 2025-33.
Photos of; their Estate Vineyards with the Andes in background, barrel branding sign, twelve 196?’s bottles of wine. They are the last twelve bottles and the price per bottle is $1500 and you have to buy the last remaining twelve. Now, you know what to get me for Christmas. The lavender landscaping in front of their Viña Restaurant.
