Tamaya 2009 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Limarí Valley)

Country: Chile / Limarí Valley
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Tamaya / Reserva

A strange bird from the northern Limarí Valley, which just might be too cool and windy for fully ripe Cab. This is hard and a bit chemical on the nose, and then scratchy and clipped in the mouth, with herbal cherry and black plum flavors along with a fair amount of minty green.
