Arboleda 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Aconcagua Valley)

Country: Chile /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Aconcagua Valley
Winery: Arboleda /

A bit jumbled and grassy on the nose, with tobacco and red-fruit aromas filling things in. The palate is correct and solid, with medium tannins, good balance and standard flavors of cassis, raspberry, tobacco and herbs. Some heat to the finish says it needs food. Includes 8% Cabernet Franc and 7% Shiraz.
