title: Santa Ema 2005 60/40 Barrel Select Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Maipo Valley)
description: A bit of volatility and jamminess is acceptable here because overall the wine is good. The nose mixes graphite and cassis with leather and earth to give a sense of good things to come, while the palate is snappy and properly tannic, with nice black cherry, plum and chocolate flavors. Solid and sturdy; 60% Cabernet and 40% Merlot.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot
