Tasting- Carmen Cabernet Sauvignon

 

Name: Carmen Cabernet Sauvignon

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: Maipo Valley, Chile

Year: 2016

Price: $7.97

Shop Review: Aromas of fresh berries, baking spices, and chocolate get this wine going. The palate bursts at the seams, boasting a toasty black-fruit flavor with grip and intensity. Delicate yet intense blackcurrant with hints of clove and mocha.

Wine Folly: Cabernet pg88 black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, graphite

I tasted the dark fruits especially. Also, the more earthy flavors like cedar and graphite stuck out to me.

Personal Review: This wine was not the best cabernet sauvignon I had. It had a very earthy smell and an even earthier taste. There was also a green pepper flavor. Overall, I would get a different brand of cabernet sauvignon that I know would be better.
