2022 Santa Ema Select Terroir Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
Sourced from sustainably farmed estate vineyards across the sun-drenched Maipo Valley—widely regarded as the premier destination for Cabernet Sauvignon in South America—the 2022 vintage benefited from a dry, warm growing season. This allowed the grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness, yielding deep fruit flavors balanced by smooth, structured tannins. Whether you are stocking your cellar with elite single malts or looking for a crowd-pleasing mid-week red, secure your bottles today at World of Whiskey Shop.
Tasting Notes: Robust Dark Fruits & Smooth Oak Balance
The Select Terroir series undergoes careful fermentation in stainless steel followed by brief maturation in selected oak barrels, preserving the energetic fruit profile while smoothing out the finish:
-
Color: Deep, intense ruby red with bright violet highlights.
-
Aroma: Highly expressive and fruit-forward. The nose opens immediately with vibrant aromas of ripe black cherries, dark plums, and black currants, beautifully complemented by subtle background notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and a delicate touch of dried herbs.
-
Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied, round, and highly approachable. The palate delivers an elegant abundance of juicy blackberry and dark plum fruit flavors. The tannins are remarkably soft, fine-grained, and well-integrated, providing a satisfying structure without any harsh astringency.
-
Finish: Clean, fresh, and exceptionally well-balanced. It leaves behind a lingering, warm trail of sweet vanilla spice and subtle toasted oak.
