Natalie's Score: 90/100

Ravanal Gran Reserva 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Colchagua Valley offers incredible value at $17. The bouquet unfurls layers of tobacco, molten dark chocolate, juicy black plum and cassis, lifted by a whisper of mint. On the palate it’s medium-plus in weight, revealing plush mocha-drizzled fruit, cedar-brush spice and dried herb nuances, all supported by fine-grained tannins. A final echo of toasty oak and fresh leafy tones carries through a smooth, lingering finish. Drink now or cellar through 2026. Pairs well with Chargrilled skirt steak with chimichurri, mushroom-and-herb galette or aged Manchego with Marcona almonds.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: grilled venison steak, slow-braised beef long ribs, grilled game sausages.
