Casas del Bosque Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Maipo Valley, Chile: A superb, rich, complex Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon made from vines grown in the Maipo Valley that are cropped for low yields at 3.6 tons per acre. This results in rich, deep flavour. After a 5-day maceration, the wine was put into a mixture of new and second-used French oak barrels for 14 months. Aromas of dark fruit, pencil led, cassis and smoke. Pair with grilled meats. Drink: 2017-2020. 353086 14.50% XD 750 mL $22.95 Score: 91/100. April 25, 2017

Cannonball Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, California, United States: Sweet chocolate hits you on the nose first followed by smoky campfire aromas. The palate is round and supple with lots of sweet chocolate and mocha notes. Cannonball (on the label) represents freedom: the child with legs tucked up underneath him as he dives into the water. Lots of fleshy ripe black fruit here in this big Californian Cabernet. Full-bodied with some herbal notes. Lots of mocha, cocoa, cola, and smoke from generous oak aging. Good tannin structure and balance. Pair with Beef daube. Drink: 2017-2024. 291666 13.80% D 750 mL $25.95 Score: 90/100. March 3, 2018
