WTN: MonGras Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2008

Colchagua Valley

Purple in the glass.

Mint on the nose.

Medium weight, smooth in the mouth, spicy, rich black cherry-berry fruit, red currants, viscous, coffee, quite rich and balanced.

With time, the wine took on a sharp edge and the fruit become somewhat stewed-cooked.

A drying finish.

A pretty good initial wine, but didn't stand up well to air exposure and time.

Purchased at $11.95 (Canadian).
