title: Santa Helena 2008 Vernus Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
description: A bit soupy to begin with; the nose is herbal and a touch brambly, with a certain grittiness. In the mouth, it's grabby and tannic, with full black cherry and blackberry flavors. Dark, toasty and charred as well, with more size than elegance. A good wine but nothing out of the ordinary.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Vernus
