Viña Machalí 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Cachapoal Valley)

Country: Chile /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Cachapoal Valley
Winery: Viña Machalí /

Chunky and pasty-smelling, with a thick set of berry aromas that rest heavily in the glass. Not very fruity but definitely herbal. Most difficult to deal with are the hard, fierce tannins that result in a gritty mouthfeel and bitterness on the finish. Surprising tough and tannic.
