Vistamar
Gran Reserva Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah
Maipo Valley, Central Valley, Chile
Fantastic value. Unsurprising bouquet but opens up beautifully and the nose becomes earthy and herbaceous. Flavor is bold. Entrance is full of red fruit. Finish is both intense and smooth. Wet rock, tobacco and flower pedals. Complex and delicious. Interesting. Main course.

Delicious hedonistic wine. Voluptuous nose of toasty oak, stewed plum, fig, spice, and black cherry. Palate is rich and sensuous with more chewy sweet black fruit, herbs, and tobacco notes. I wholeheartedly agree with Suckling's 92-Pt score, this is a knockout. California cab-drinkers - you may want to steer clear if you're hellbent on staying of the mindset that other countries can't make delicious Cabernet under $20.

Very complex. Great aroma with red and black fruits. Hint of chocolate. Jammy finish.

Deep red color. Full bodied drinkable wine. Vanilla oak amazing finish. Perfect wine to drink on it's own or with a thick steak. Excellent job Chile! Off to buy more...

Oct 1st, 2016Very drinkable. Smooth lower tannins from this cab / Syrah blend from Chile. Medium acid not too fruity slightly dry red. Just under $20 total wine
