Vina Chocalan Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva, Maipo Valley, Chile
Readers rated this wine:
Silky, intense, classic.
Vina Chocalan is a stunning, sprawling and modern family owned winery located in the Maipo Valley, it rests 35-kilometers from the Pacific and is home to the vast majority of their production. A second estate vineyard site in the San Antonio Valley, a cool climate valley, is perfect for their premium white wines and Pinot Noir.
Outstanding value for price, this intense but well-balanced red delivers aromas of black currents and vanilla, plum, pipe tobacco, pencil shavings, cedar chips and saddle leather. It has a fresh and silky entry with bold flavours of smoked spices, black fruit, dark chocolate, dark earth and toasted oak.
