Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2012 vintage was an atypical one in Chile, and the summer was one of the hottest in recent years. High temperatures accelerated grape ripening and moved the harvest up by two to three weeks in some areas. Special consideration was also made to manage vine foliage during the high temperatures in order to protect bunches from direct sunlight. The Cabernet harvest began early and this year’s grapes are very concentrated with excellent sugar and phenol levels. The wines for this vintage show rich, ripe aromas, with elegant flavor and outstanding quality.
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet in color with bright reflections. Aromas of ripe berries, cassis, plum and dark cherry, followed by light toast notes. Juicy red berry and mocha flavors with a full-bodied structure, balanced by smooth tannins and a lengthy finish.
Food Pairing
Root: 1 Cabernet pairs well with grilled steak or a hearty meat-sauce pasta. The ripe full-bodied flavors also complement roasted vegetables and spicy soups. A delightful match to chocolate desserts!
