Maipo, Chile

Produced by the excellent Vina Chocolan. The Inspira Cabernet Sauvignon from younger vines has a delicious, supple, pure palate of wonderful Cassis and cocoa fruit.

Deliciously dark in hue, it has aromas of green pepper and lead pencil shavings along with blackcurrant and black pepper. The palate has cool blackcurrant plus rich plum, crunchy blackberry, sweet vanilla, green pepper, herbal and violet notes.

From a fabulous boutique winery in the Maipo Alto, this is dark, concentrated and complex Cabernet Franc. Will develop gracefully for years to come.
