Santa Rita Casa Real 1997

Santa Rita Casa Real 1997 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine produced from Cabernet Sauvignon in the Maipo Valley of Chile. The flagship wine of the Santa Rita estate, Casa Real is sourced from a single block of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon in Alto Jahuel, next to the Santa Rita winery in Alto Maipo. "Words like pungent and hedonistic best describe this voluptuous and chewy Cabernet Sauvignon. Almost overflows with spectacular black currant and herbal character. Huge black-cherry and licorice flavor is carried in a wrap of soft, enveloping tannins. Heady stuff that pumps out the volume. Will evolve if given time in the cellar." Wine Enthusiast
