WINE DESCRIPTION

Santa Alicia's Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is a robust and flavorful wine from the renowned Maipo Valley in Chile, a region particularly celebrated for producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. This Reserva is indicative of the winery's commitment to crafting quality wines that express the character of the varietal and the unique terroir. The Maipo Valley's warm days and cool nights are ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that develop a balance of ripeness and acidity, resulting in a wine that is both rich in flavor and well-structured. Aged in oak barrels, the Reserva displays added complexity and smoothness, making it an excellent representation of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon at an accessible price point.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Santa Alicia Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva exhibits a deep ruby color, alluding to its intensity and depth.The nose is greeted with inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrant, black cherries, and plums, complemented by hints of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of green bell pepper – a classic Cabernet Sauvignon profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, showcasing a harmonious blend of dark fruit flavors and well-integrated oak. Notes of dark chocolate, a hint of cedar, and a subtle spiciness add to the complexity. The tannins are firm but smooth, providing a good structure, while the finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit and oak. This Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is a great choice for those seeking a bold and flavorful red wine that pairs well with a variety of hearty dishes.
