Anyways, I'll try to keep my labeling bias away from how the actual wine tastes!
Like I'm mentioned previously, this wine is from Chile's Valle Central D.O. and as far as I know it's 100% Cabernet. The website didn't offer any specific information on the barrel regimen nor the exact varietal breakdown. Once again, this wine is obviously marketed on having a bottle called "CIGAR BOX", and not so much on the actually juice in the bottle.
On the nose I get aromas of blackberry, green bell pepper, cedar, and some dirty smelling soil. It really quite honestly smells a bit cheap and vegetal.
On the palate I get flavors of cherry, red raspberry, dried herbs, cedar and just a touch of earth. It's quite light and finishes with a touch of bitterness and alcohol.
I definitely have had worse wines than this, however I have tasted literally hundreds of wines for half this price that show much more quality. It's quite simply just a gimmick wine and really doesn't fall into the fine wine category. 78 points
