This is a very typical, and unremarkable, Chilean Cabernet. It’s classic Cabernet flavors of blackcurrant, blackberries and tart plums are overwhelmed by slightly cooked green pepper. The finish falls off quickly. With a few hours of air it improves slightly, but not enough to earn a recommendation from this reviewer. There are far better wines to be had in this price range.
