Santa Rita Medalla Real Gold Medal Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

"Odedi"

This is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile. Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Red and black fruits on the nose with earth notes and chocolates. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate and fruit forward. Showing currants, cooked plums, black cherries, light oak, spices and chocolates. Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries. A good everyday wine and much better than the last time I had this vintage (3 years ago). 14% alcohol by volume. 89 points

I love this style of slightly minty Chilean red. This also shows echos of crushed ivy leaf as well as well ripened blackberry fruit. Elegantly textured and a lot of wine for the money.

"Odedi"

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim. On the nose black plums, black cherries, black currant, chocolates, wood, earth, vanilla, licorice, cloves, light alcohol and vegetables. Full bodied with medium plus acidity. Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, currants, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, oak, cloves, earth, vegetables, graphite and herbs. Medium finish with fine tannins and tangy raspberries. This is a nice everyday wine from Chile. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Spicy and tangy. Fruit forward with a nice mouthfeel. Good right out of the bottle, and shows mild complexity after 2 hours. Even better after 4 hours of airtime, so be patient. A good value wine and a Single Vineyard . Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers. 14% alcohol by volume. 88 points. $13.

This has beautiful hints of blackberry, plum and raspberry. I paired with a medium rare ribeye and spinach salad, which had marinated artichoke, tomoato, and crumbled feta cheese .! #very nice

15th anniversary wine. Very bold, jammy taste. First sip fruity and refreshing turning dry for the finish. Excellent wine.
