Frida Kahlo, Maipo Valley, Chile, Single Vineyard 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, $11.89-$15.99, 90 points, poured core opaque grading to a pristine ruby red with a broad clear meniscus and light stained legs.
Aromas were smokey with blackberries, loam, a subtle but lovely rose pedal.
Near full-bodied with good acidity, a firm underlayment of tannin, and good straight forward flavors of blackberry, cigar, black pepper, and red pepper.
Finished long, showed a hint of citrus and minerality, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my grass-fed rib eye.
It seems to me that this Cab was designed for all palates, not a robust Robert Parker Cab, but refined enough to even please him (I don't know if he has tried this).
Very high Quality/Price Ratio Cab.
