Valdivieso, Colchagua Valley, Single Vineyard 2011 Cabernet Franc (Chile), $20.99-$23.99, 88 points, poured an opaque sienna color with a bleeding clear wine ring.
Smells of earth, mint, and black raspberries were okay.
Medium-plus body with fair acidity and a soft underlayment of tannin burst forth fruity, but thinned mid-palate, then began the rich flavors of leather, earth, ripe black raspberries, cola, and black olives.
Finished fair on the fading palate with hints of tobacco, warm spices, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
