Recently served by our friend Claire at book club, this Cab was a great match with the flank steak grilled (!) by her oft kitchen-phobic husband Frank. According to the bottle it is one of Chile's oldest estates and is controlled by Domaines Baron de Rothschild (Lafite). Yep, the big baron of France. Cabernet Sauvignon is the classic production of Los Vascos, and is the grape that made the estate famous. The vintages all share a mature and fruity quality, fresh aromas, and a supple and fleshy structure. 100% Cabernet SauvignonIt is an attractive ruby in color with a very red fruit nose and some very chocolate and bay leaf touches. This wine is pleasant, excellent body, juicy and ripe. Highly concentrated with strawberry & cherries fruit notes and marked spices. Persistent and outstandingly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon.
"Wines like this helped Conchagua earn its Wine Region of the Year Award... for not much cash you get a ripe, smoky Cabernet with black plum and cassis aromas..."
