1999 Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Real

I just tried the 1999 Santa Rita, Casa Real for the first time. I am impressed. I have typically not been a fan of Chilean wines. I typically find the cabernet to be a bit harsh, ackward and one dimensional. It may be that I have tried only a limited number of these. This is an estate bottled wine from a well respected producer.

As for the 1999 Santa Rita, Casa Real the nose offer nice dark fruit, grill meat, tobacco and vanilla. The finish still offers enough backbone to age for a several more years. The tannins are still present but are not unpleasant. If you can still find this wine give it a shot. I think you will enjoy it.

Cheers
