MontGras Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2010 (About $11)

About the Wine:  Cabernet Sauvignon is the classic heavy red.  It is generally good with red meat because it one of the few wines with a taste strong enough to match a well seasoned steak. 
About THIS Wine:  The terroir of Chile is known to produce exceptionally rich and fruity red wines and MontGras delivers.  It has a velvety nose with prominent notes of cherry and raspberry.  Those flavors deliver on the palate with additional notes of pepper and plum.  The fruit lingers on the palate to provide a remarkably smooth and easy finish.
Drinking This Wine:  MontGras drinks like a rich and fruity Merlot and as such makes a very good sipping wine.  It would also be a good compliment to lighter red meat dishes, such as grilled beef or stew.
Overall Impression:  This is an excellent wine for everyday drinking.  My final verdict is that it is remarkably good for the price.
