San Pedro 2008 1865 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / 1865 Single Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley
Winery: San Pedro /

A quick first nosing suggests a vegetal quality, and yes, the wine does have a green streak to it. But overall it rounds out and opens to show herbal black-fruit flavors, tobacco, coffee and earth notes. It’s tannic and clacky, maybe a touch aggressive, but it does improve with airing. Good Chilean Cab with typical Maipo herbal notes.
