It’s hard to imagine a better red wine value than this Chilean Cabernet. Deep and dark, with multi-layered flavors reminiscent of black fruits, dark chocolate, and savory spice, it tastes rich and opulent but shows nary a hint of excessive heat or alcohol. Beautifully balanced, this wine outperforms many Cabernets costing four or five times as much.
