Description:
Vistamar Gran Reserva 2017 is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Syrah grapes. The wine has a deep, dark violet-red hue with aromas of black cherry, sweet liqueur, bitter chocolate, graphite and a light touch of cedron. The flavors are complex and elegant with an acidity that gives it length and distinction. The wine is medium-bodied with smooth silky tannins and a long persistent finish.

Tobin’s Review- 3 out of 5
Vistamar’s Gran Reserva 2017 has an inky hue with aromas of cedar and light menthol. The wine has nice flavors of cherry, light chocolate, it’s earthy and has a slight hint of wood.
