Santa Carolina Reserva de Familia Cabernet 2017 (Chile) Rated 92JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 92
This has attractive and fresh cassis with a fresh and attractive feel. Some dark, stony complexity on the nose, too. The palate has a very fresh and sleek feel with seamless, long and succulent tannins. Holds well. The right balance of structure and fresh fruit. Drink or hold.

This grows at El Mariscal, a vineyard on the north bank of the Maipo River at the base of the Andes. It’s a cool and elegant cabernet with scents of strawberries and the gamey flavor of wild duck. Clean and bright.

Wine Tasting Notes
The Reserva de Familia Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and elegant. This full-bodied wine features a deep red-ruby color, spicy and fruity aromas, and intense flavors of plum and jam. On the palate, the round, velvety tannins provide a smooth texture and well-integrated oak character. Its long and elegant finish is rich with cinnamon and pepper notes as the wine is already developing a pleasant bottle bouquet.
