Sometimes the best way to explore the differences wines is to explore the same grape variety grown in several regions. So, this week we are highlighting three expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon from three iconic growing regions: Napa Valley, Bordeaux, and Chile.
We start things off in the home of Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux with Château Cherchy-Desqueyroux. Floral, fresh red and blue fruits with silky tannins and yummy acidity. This is a classic Old World Cab.
Route Stock 29 comes from Napa Valley. The 2017 vintage was plagued by wildfires. Fortunately, most of the harvest was already fermenting in tank before the winery was forced to evacuate. This is quintessential Napa with mint, cedar, violets, and blackberry.
La Roncière Licantén rounds out the trio. This wine comes from coastal Chile, 25km from the Pacific Ocean. Most Chilean winemakers are staking out higher elevation vineyards to combat global warming. Instead, La Roncière has formed a new DO with a complex terroir of old coastal mountain ranges and moderating oceanic effects. This wine packs aromatic intensity with black fruits, coffee, and chocolate, with smooth tannins and balanced alcohol.
Bought separately, these would come in at $75. Get the three-pack for $66.99. Double up, grab a six-pack, and the price drops from $150 to $126.99.
