Santa Ema 2011 Barrel Select 60/40 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Barrel Select 60/40
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot Maipo Valley
Winery: Santa Ema /

Jammy and flat up front, this blend of Cabernet and Merlot shows little vibrancy on the nose. In the mouth, it’s blocky yet astringent, while flavors of berry fruits lean toward herbal. Tomato notes and tartness rise up on the finish, which is herbal and tannic in feel.
