2020 Global Trails SCL Cabernet Sauvignon

Try a red as big and bold as the Andes. Red currant and spice dominate the nose of this Chilean red, tempered by lighter notes of tobacco and smoke. On the palate, this full-bodied Cab reveals layers of black cherry, charcoal, and juicy, ripe plum. The finish is medium-long and rippled with subtle hints of honeyed sweetness. This 2020 Global Trails Cab benefits from the Mediterranean climate in the Chilean Central Valley. Dry summers and mild, wet winters make this region not only home to some of Chile’s most famous wines but also the home of most Chileans. The district blossoms in the spring, when celebrations and festivals ripple through the valley celebrating the year’s harvest. 2020 proved a marker year for the valley, as the fertile alluvial soils brought out the best in red grapes like this Global Trails. This robust Cabernet makes a big and bold pairing to classic Chilean dishes like Churrasco steak sandwich, arrollado de huaso (pork roll topped with chilies and bacon), or plateada (Chilean pot roast).
