Via Colina Negra Cabernet Sauvignon - 2003
San Rafael, Chile

Chile would be too warm for winegrowing if it weren't for the country's unique shape, squeezed between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. Both the mountains and the sea provide cooling breezes which moderate temperatures, contrasting warm days with cool nights - perfect conditions for growing wine grapes. Jorge Coderch's Via brand uses these conditions to its advantage to make a well-balanced, enjoyable Cabernet, with blackberry and blackcurrant aromas touched off by hints of spice and cedar. It's full-bodied, with soft tannins and a smooth finish.
