Echeverria 2012 Founder’s Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Founder’s Selection
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley
Winery: Echeverria /

Soft stewy raisiny aromas are not problematic but they do suggest a wine that’s a bit overripe, which isn’t surprising for 2012—a notoriously hot year. A heavy palate is a touch mushy but also tannic. Candied flavors of cherry and cassis are raisiny, while this is plodding and chocolaty on the finish.
