Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon

Don Melchor is a Chilean premium wine brand composed of the singular eponymous Cabernet Sauvignon. It is owned by Concha y Toro, one of the largest wine producers in South America. The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced entirely from a 127 hectare (315 acre) vineyard. Located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, here an altitude of 2100 feet (640 meters) above sea level creates ideal terroir for winegrowing. The vineyard was first planted in 1890 with pre-phylloxera Bordeaux rootstock and all the vines growing today are massal selections of those original plants. 

This deep cherry red wine is very expressive in red fruits. The smooth attack leads to good structure with an evolution that shows fresh aromas and flavors. Red berry fruit and spicy notes stand out on the long finish.
