Chañarmuyo Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, by the same token





Chañarmuyo, Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, By Chañarmuyo Estate, La Rioja, USD 12

Nice Cab. Plenty of ripe fruit and a nice envelope of chocolate and soft smoke. Like reds from high Mendoza (lets say Tupungato Valley, Uco Valley, Tunuyan city, Vista Flores, Gualtallary and so) this Cab shows a strong black small fruit concentration like boysenberries and black cherries very ripe and sweet with almost no memory of typical cabernets in termes of herbaceous and peppery no. Nice alchol, not bothers at all. Over the top on fruitinness. I´d say a 88 points red to enjoy probably 6-8 years of proper cellar. Very good value. Quite straight and likeable, mostly if you like fruit punch explosion (many palates will agree and get exited about this red).
