The 2016 Santa Rita Medalla Real Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a delightful expression of Chile’s renowned Maipo Valley, where the warm days and cool nights create the perfect conditions for this varietal. Scoring a well-deserved 95 points, this wine captivates with its rich bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark chocolate, and a hint of cedar, leading into a palate that balances bold fruit flavors with a velvety texture and a touch of spice. The finish is long and satisfying, making it an excellent choice for a cozy dinner featuring grilled lamb or a hearty beef stew. Given its exceptional quality, this wine is not only a treat for your taste buds but also a smart buy for anyone looking to elevate their wine collection without breaking the bank.
