Undurraga dates back to 1885 and today is a major producer with vineyards scattered around Chile’s primary wine regions. Among several Cabernets produced, this one with the big “U” on the label is its entry level wine. Dark in color, it has aromas of black fruit and cassis and is made in a robust, hearty style. It could be easily mistaken for a Carmenère, but the fact remains it works very well as an everyday red. Also noteworthy is that all of the vineyards are sustainably farmed and the U label is printed on recycled paper. Good value.
