Carta vieja Gran reserva cabernet 2019

Carta Vieja brings us this dry red wine from Chile, made with Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2019 vintage. About the grape — Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most planted red grapes, prized for its deep color, firm tannins and dark-fruit flavors of blackcurrant and plum, often with notes of cedar and tobacco. Chile is winemaking heaven — a long ribbon of vineyards tucked between the Andes and the Pacific, giving famously clean, fruit-filled, easy-to-love wines. The 'Reserva' on the label usually means it's a step-up selection given a little extra aging before release. This is your steak-night, lamb-roast, hearty-stew kind of red. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature.
