A refined and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon from the foothills of the Andes, the 2019 Hussonet Gran Reserva showcases the elegance and intensity of Chile’s high-altitude Maipo Valley with unmistakable Antinori polish.
Taste
Deep violet in the glass, this wine opens with a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum layered with mint, bay leaf, cinnamon, and cedar. The palate is smooth and concentrated, with firm yet well-integrated tannins and flavors of red and black fruits, dark chocolate, and a savory herbal edge. Notes of coffee bean and toasted oak add depth to a long, satisfying finish.
