Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Santa Julia Magna, Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, not in line with the standard
Santa Julia Magna Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, By Santa Julia (Familia Zuccardi), USD 15
A Cab that blends to terroirs : Maipu and Tupungato districs.Light and ripe with soft expression. Good balance of red cherries ,a plummy edge and roasted red bell pepper. A soft chocolaty note too. Middle body Cab that doesn´t stick to the memory. An 85 points Cabernet Sauvignon may be overpriced to my point of view. It doesn´t look like to improve beyond 4 years old.
The Santa Julia Magna blend (usualy malbec, Cab, and syrah) reach far beyond into 89-90 points
