Viña Peñalolen Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley 2003 Review

Viña Peñalolen Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley 2003 Tasting Notes

This Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon from Peñalolen shows the Bordelaise influence of its winemaker, Patrick Valette. It's not a big and overexcited wine like a California Cab, but it is a medium-bodied red that displays a pantheon of red fruit, underlayed with rustic briarwood, herbs, minerals and vanilla-oak. Supple in transition on the palate, balanced with a soft lazy finish. It's well-made, pairs easily with food, and offers a nice Cab value.
