Karu Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Karu Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

  • Expect juicy red fruit, with lovely ripeness, to assail your senses here together with a nice vanilla undertone to keep things warm and comforting.
  • Exactly like Bordeaux. But cheaper. More ripe and fruity. Less green. Less hyped. And not always being trumpeted, like Bordeaux, as the greatest vintage since the dawn of time.
  • At Emiliana, all of the wines find their 'sweet spot' - the place where they grow best. Think Pinot Noir in Burgundy (without the horrific price tag)

Occasionally an involuntary smile will creep over my face when I'm tasting with a new winemaker. And so it was with Cesar Morales. Not because he's a loveable sort of character, which he is, but because I could see exactly what he was up to in the wine. He's great. And it's all about pure, unadulterated, natural fruit with this guy.

De Martino Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

De Martino Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 Chilean Red Wine

Type: Cabernet Sauvignon

A lovely, ripe, youthful Cabernet that is both elegant and seductive. Its charming aromas of blackcurrant and hints of eucalyptus build up the promise of much more. You won't be let down. The palate is full, rounded and very, very well structured. Swirl in a decanter and watch the magic unfurl.
