2007 Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon

2007 Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon - $10 Colchagua Valley,Chile The color of the wine is dark ruby red that extends to the edge of the glass. Aromas of cracked pepper, earth, and a bit of alcohol smells. The taste is dry with moderate tannins and a pleasant finish, it seems a bit too light for a cabernet. This is decent straightforward wine, it tastes and drinks like a $10 bottle of wine, a honest wine for a reasonable price. It is a young wine a will definitely benefit from a good 30 minutes or so of decanting, it gets better as it breathes. A blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon and 15% merlot. This wine should be easy to find from grocery stores to wine shops. It's worth a try.
