Santa Rita Medalla Real Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.5%)

Santa Rita Medalla Real Cabernet Sauvignon is a Gran Reserva Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon from Viña Santa Rita's Alto Jahuel Estate in the upper Maipo Valley, bottled at 13.5% ABV. The blend is typically 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Syrah and 2% Petit Verdot; recent vintages age about 20% of the volume in French oak barrels for 12 months, with the rest in concrete and stainless steel. The nose shows ripe blackcurrant, blueberry, cigar box, soft cedar, cocoa, mint and camphor. The palate has dark plum, cassis, fresh red berries, graphite minerality and finely grained tannins. The finish is medium-to-long, with dried spice, dark cherry and subtle cedar.
