Natalie's Score: 89/100

This Eduardo Chadwick Chilean red wine is highly extracted. Cassis and blackberry liqueur, herbs and blackcurrant aromas on the note. Juicy, full-bodied and mouth-watering. Could use another year or two in the cellar. Decant 2 hours. Pair with rare steak.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: beef enchiladas, barbecued ribs in sauce, hamburger, hard cheese, braised pork shanks with white beans.
