Emiliana, Colchagua Valley (Chile) Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Nov 18, 2009

By Gerald D. Boyd

Blended with 15% Carmenère, this herbal-berry wine made from organically-grown grapes has a ripe berry nose with hints of dried herbs that follow through to the flavors.  More than 60% of the wine went straight from tank to bottle, allowing the herbal character to dominate.  Finished with 14% alcohol, the wine has full tannins and good length.
