Santa Ema Select Terroir Cabernet Sauvignon Valle del Maipo 2017 750 ML

Santa Ema Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva is a red wine from the Maipo Valley from the famous Santa Ema winery in Chile with a complex and intense aroma of black currant, blackberry, black pepper and mint. Aging in new barrels added notes of roasted chocolate, caramel and vanilla. The taste is full, concentrated with robust ripe tannins, with very intense fruitiness and a long aftertaste.

Tart cherry and subtle oak aromas on the nose. This is a light- to medium-bodied fruit-driven wine with soft tannins and mild acidity. The finish is slightly bitter.
