Santa Ema 2007 Catalina Red (Peumo)

Country: Chile / Peumo
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Santa Ema / Catalina

Smoky, rubbery and sweet on the nose, with mocha and caramel shadings. The palate, however, is more tight and narrow; the feel is fresh and blazing, while the flavors are piercing and suggest red fruits like cranberry and cherry. Citric but with just enough weight to register as true Cabernet (with 18% Carmenère and 7% Cab Franc).
