The Desert WIne Guy - 2009 Monte Blanco Cabernet Sauvignon

  

   Today's wine is from Chili and is the 2009 Monte Blanco Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile. This will be a short review simply because there really is not much to say about this wine, at least nothing good that is. This wine is light to medium red in color and has a very weak cherry/Blackberry taste to it. There is really no structure to speak of to this wine.  It is a very simple wine. There are no Tannins in the wine which might be because it is rather on the older side for this price point and this red might not have been produced using quality grapes. I can forgive the lack of Tannins however, what I can't forgive is the overpowering problem with this wine being jammy....way jammy/sweet. The wine is VERY sweet and makes fortified wines almost seem bland. There is no saving grace anywhere in this bottle. I say avoid it like the plague. If you want a sweet Red go buy a bottle of Manischewitz.
