Chile

This is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Carmenère, 2% Syrah, and 2% Petit Verdot.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is concentrated with black cherries, cranberries and slight sage.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, tart cherries with some cranberries.  Good finish.  This is drinking well now and should continue for another five to eight years. it will go well with many foods especially roasted chicken or duck.  

This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Petite Verdot and Cabernet Franc from Chile.  Ruby in color with a purple core, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is dusty with black cherries and the slightest green tobacco.  Juicy, jellied texture.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, tart cherries which give way to black cherry fruit.  Moderate finish.  This took about 30 minutes to open.  it drinks nicely on its own and will work with many foods.  A nice choice for Burgers or Pizza.  Drink over the next five years.  

If tasting completely blind I would have guessed New Zealand SB and not Chile.  Green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is crisp with tropical fruits (Gooseberries) with a touch of lime citrus.  Medium bodied.  Crisp acidity.  Nice oily texture.  A bit chalky on the finish.  This is an easy drinking Sauvignon Blanc that is nice on its own and would go well with lighter foods or soft cheeses.  Drink over the next year or so.
