Viña Tarapacá Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Jon Steeves rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon is tasting great. Ruby red in the bowl, with a medium long finish and persistence of red berry, black pepper, elegant aged leather, black cherry and baking spices. Fine tannins. Paired well with roast lamb and would pair well with a seared rare beef tenderloin. Produced with Maipo valley and Isla de Maipo fruit. Tasted 2017 vintage in October 2018. 91 points #goodvalue #crowdpleaser

What a treat! This Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley has aromas of ripe raspberry, plum, violet, chocolate, cinnamon, black pepper and hints of vanilla bean. It is full-bodied, has smooth tannins, and fresh acidity on the palate with flavours of tart plum, juicy raspberry, subtle cedar and chocolate at the finish.

Wine-Food Pairing: A pepper steak covered in mushroom sauce would be yummy with this wine.

Tasted October 2018 at the Vina San Pedro wine tasting event.

A 100% Cab Sauv, crafted from grapes grown on "Piedmont" soil in Chile's Maipo Valley, which is very stoney with good drainage.
Medium-bodied, velvety and balanced, this Cab exudes aromas and flavours of dark fruit(cherry, raspberry, blackberry, cassis, plum) along with delicious spicy notes of black pepper, bay leaf and also vanilla and caramel. Velvety tannins and lingering elegant finish make this Cab a delight to enjoy with beef tenderloin, prime rib , mushroom risotto or mature cheese such as manchego or emmental.
Tasted Oct. 2018 with the winemaker, Sebastien Ruiz.
