Santa Rita Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (750ML)

93 Points, Virginie Boone, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Real is the winery's flagship wine from its flagship variety, considered the grand vin of Santa Rita, and is sourced from a specific section of the vineyard. Entirely varietal, from massal selections of Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and concrete. Founded on a beautiful tannin structure, it is elegant and supple, with classic elements of cassis, thyme, and cedar, with just a touch of oak baking spice on the finish. Drink now through 2041." 05/25

94 Points, Matthew Luczy, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon combines the lavish, polished decadence that defines many of Chile's "icon" wines with a fresh, contemporary energy. It opens with a classic bouquet of dark fruits, sweet tobacco, leather and toasty oak. The palate echoes this richness with a velvety, plush texture that retains a taut, structured core, finishing with focused tannins and fresh acidity. Between the effortless nature of the vintage and the recent stylistic refinements shown in this wine, this should develop beautifully past its 10th birthday." 03/25
