About Santa Carolina 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserva de Familia, Maipo Valley
The original wine cellar of Viña Santa Carolina is now a national monument in Chile. Don Luis Pereira came to Chile in 1875 with vinestocks from Bordeaux France and a dream to create an unforgettable wine. Some of the original vinestocks are still yielding fine wine grapes today; a rare feat. Thus, Viña Santa Carolina's classic varietals boast some of the world's longest pedigrees. 5% Cabernet Franc is blended with 95% Cabernet Sauvignon. Maceration lasted up to 30 days and the wine aged 15 months in oak barrels."
James Suckling scored it 91 points saying "Tight and juicy with blackberry and bitter chocolate character. Medium body, tight tannins and a savory finish."
and this was #3 on the Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2018. They scored it 92 points saying "Elegance mixed with bold fruit is what this overachieving Cabernet is about. Aromas of blackberry, dried black plum, spice and cocoa suggest high quality. A focused palate and textural grip holds cherry and cassis flavors that are ripe and backed by notes of chocolate and coffee. Drink through 2022."
