Apaltagua 2010 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Reserva
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Colchagua Valley
Winery: Apaltagua /

Opens with a blast of oak rendered as bacon and sawdust. Feels bulky, tannic and tight, with saturated wood flavors taking on a heavy hickory accent that overrides what standard red fruit the wine is bringing. Quite woody for a wine of this caliber.
