Viu Manent
Grand Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Central Valley, Chile
2011 - Surprisingly good. A nice fruity Cab Sauv with lots of blackcurrent, juicy sloes, and a hint of new-world blackberry seeds. Very tightly knit and well made. Great for the price. It needs decanting time though - I'd suggest 2 hours and time in the glass, after being sloshed around a bit. Will last but no need to wait.

Legs develop quickly. Dark red/purple in color. Smells sweet. Dry but not too dry, good balanced flavor, finishes a bit tart. Nice wine.
