Viña Marty 'Pirca' 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Chile)





Viña Marty 'Pirca' 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Chile), $11.89-$26.99, 91 points, poured core black grading mahogany red toward the broadly transparent wine ring and leggy glass bowl.
Aromas were furry warm and slightly sweet with a soft touch of lavender and mocha; impressive, though a tad ethereal.
Full-bodied and bearing bright acids with comfortable supportive tannins which carried a delicious balance of summer blackberries, coffee notes, and mulling spice.
Finished dry and long on the trailing palate, a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol, plum, and hints of white pepper.
Maybe the best South American Cabernet Sauvignon I've tasted, and one of the best values I've found.
