A muscular red, with a mix of dark plum, currant and dried raspberry flavors that feature plenty of dark chocolate notes. Accents of underbrush and dried bay leaf linger on the rich finish. Drink now through 2018.

Chile has come a long ways since the 1980's. When I tasted the value price points then, the wines were often too rustic and sometimes dirty. The 2013 Veramonte Cabernet Sauvignon represents a new, more modern way of making wines clean and lively. Fresh and fun, this wine is both aromatic—ripe red fruits, with a fine brightness to it—and easy on the palate. The wine still shows some savory and earth elements in the finish. The aftertaste is soft and supple. Drinks well now. (Tasted: July 18, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

For more than 25 years Veramonte has been recognized in Chile and worldwide for the consistent quality of its wines.
Veramonte produces distinctive wines that are expressions of their origins. The winery is located in Casablanca, and the original vineyards were situated in a valley in Casablanca that when planted in the late 1990s was unknown to the wine industry. Veramonte was the first to invest seriously in the area and the project expanded later into other valleys and brands, with vineyards in the renowned winemaking regions of Casablanca (perfect for whites and cool-climate reds) and Colchagua (warmer and ideal for red varietals).
Veramonte follows organic practices throughout their estate, with a number of the wines now being officially certified ‘Made with Organic Grapes’. These practices ensure optimum conditions for vine growth and that the vineyards are sustainable over time. Living, balanced soil produces quality grapes that express the fullest potential of the terroir.
