Tasting Note
An opulent Cabernet Sauvignon which opens with a beautifully floral aroma alongside an abundance of wild red fruits, wild mint & leafy briary notes. The palate mirrors this with a sleek, silky texture, concluding with a dense and saturated finish lifted by a nuanced tannins — a lovely expression of mountainous Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon.
