Primus Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 Review
This is a classic-style Cabernet from organically-farmed estate vineyards in Chile's Maipo Valley. It's a dark garnet color, and has rich aromas that include ripe raspberries, blackberries, cassis, and a hint of Chinese five-spice. The texture is nicely fruit-driven and palate coating, with smooth, grippy tannins and a long, energetic finish. It's an $18 wine that tastes like it could be twice the price - and probably would be if it was from California instead of Chile. Any fan of Napa Cabernet should try this alluring Chilean.
