Casas del Bosque´s Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon aims to be an affordable, easy for everyday drinking kind of Cabernet. Sure, the tannic structure is there, but on a milder notch than what you would find on the Gran Reserva. There is a notorious presence of red and black fruit, with the spicier side gently tamed by the French oak. The secret comes from the origin of the grapes, planted mainly in the “Entre Cordilleras”, lower part of the Rapel Valley, as opposed to the Gran Reserva, which comes from the Andes foothills in Maipo. The result is a different style for the same grape, which will probably appeal to a broader audience.
Intense red color with a violet hue. The nose offers aromas of cassis, raspberries, mint and tobacco, accompanied by notes reminiscent of coconut, vanilla and white chocolate. This Cabernet Sauvignon fills the palate with good volume, accompanying the sensation of persistence with soft, round tannins.
