Viu Manent Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Colchagua 2009

ITEM # VMRC09

Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Viticulture & Vinification Notes: The grapes were sourced from San Carlos vineyard. featuring free-draining alluvial loam/clay soils. At harvest the fruit was hand-selected and cold soaked. Malolactic was begun in tank but finished in barrel and the wine was then aged for 14 months in American and French oak barrels.

Notes From The Winemaker: Deep ruby red in colour, on the nose this wine exhibits opulent notes of blackcurrant, fig and date. In the mouth notes of plum, bittersweet chocolate and espresso bean dominate. A well integrated oak backbone backed by firm yet round tannins leads to a long finish.
