Vina Santa Ema Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley Reserve 2006 – Chile

Wine Spectator – 89 Points

Full and fruity!  Loads of dark berries, ripe cherries and currant on the nose.  Juicy, round mouthfeel and not dry on the finish.    Tasted great on its own…  I think the 4 years in the bottle paid off!    My only gripe would be that the finish wasn’t big enough, this isn’t a bottle for those who usually enjoy a huge Napa cab.   If cabernet is usually too “strong” for you to handle, I’d try this one – its as easy drinking as a merlot!

Price = $11

Score = Triple

  1. This one sounds perfect for me! LOVE dark cherries and berry notes in wine, and not too dry. I love easy drinking wines that don;t require a food pairing. I will have to take note of this next time I go wine shopping. Thank you!! And I hope we can get together and share a bottle soon!
