Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah 2017
Tasting Notes
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah presents tremendous structure and an ample array of concentrated flavors and aromas ranging from red fruits such as strawberries and blackcurrant in the Cabernet to blueberries, blackberries and floral notes in the Syrah. The firm, persistent tannins on the palate lend good structure. Aging in old oak imparts a slightly sweet note, and the wine’s creaminess and pleasing acidity refresh the flavors.

History of Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah 2017
Oveja Negra’s estate Nilahue vineyard in the Colchagua Valley (80 miles south of Santiago). The Colchagua Valley differs from other Chilean wine regions in that it runs between two spurs of the Andes Mountains, one to the north and one to the south, separated by an average distance of 22 miles. Summers are warm and dry with a significant day-night temperature variation which allows the grapes to ripen slowly with very good concentration and preservation of aromas and flavors. Winters are generally cold and rainy. Yield was between four and five tons per acre.
