And, with its 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, it could easily be mistaken for a Left Bank Second Growth Bordeaux wine in taste and style. It is rich, warm and slightly creamy with rich dark berry flavors and undertastes of chocolate and carbon. A very nice buy, especially for the price.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1987 by Aurelio Montes and Douglas Murray, Montes helped put modern Chilean fine wine on the map.
