Bodega Volcanes de Chile, Gran Caldera Cabernet Sauvignon, Rapel Valley, Chile 2021

Bodega Volcanes is a project focusing on volcanic wines, started in 2008 by Chilean wine giant, Undurraga. This Cabernet is from a 40% slope in the Rapel Valley, and displays some pure blackcurrant fruit aromas with floral overtones and some herbaceous touches. Dark, creamy, iron-rich berries mingle with black pepper and pomegranate in the mouth, with nice verticality and freshness. Decent value.
