Santa Rita is one of Chile's best known and respected wineries. The Santa Rita Organic wines are made with organically grown grapes and are sold exclusively at Whole Foods Markets. No artificial pesticides or fertilizers are used in the vineyards.
The Santa Rita Organic Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, from the Central Valley of Chile is made from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Carmenere and 5% Merlot. The wine is aged 8 months in French Oak and has an alcohol content of 13.5%.
I found the flavor of the wine to be complex and fruity. The bottle describes the flavor as ripe black fruit with notes of black pepper and spice. I did not detect the black pepper but agree with the ripe black fruit flavor.
This wine is smooth and flavorful with a long lasting medium tannin finish. The Cabernet is definitely softened by the Merlot and Carmenere. It is a very enjoyable wine which I have already replaced in my wine fridge. Whole Foods prices this wine at $12.99.
SC Wine Joe rating = 90 points.
