Deep South with Deep Velvet Two wines I highly recommend for this issue are two top reds from South America and one white.
.
Catena Alta, Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 is the best red wine from the whole of the South American continent. Therefore in the top echelon of New World red wines. It competes head to head with many top Californian wines and beats the pants offSouth Africa and most of Australia. Apart from three or four reds from New Zealand the rest are also ran. The sheer magnificence of the deep velvet fruit, spice, length and structure in Catena Alta, Cabernet Sauvignon is so seductive as to almost indecent. My number one red from Chile is Echerverria, Cabernet Sauvignon 1996 Family Reserve. From the long established family grape growing business this wine was brought to the fore front by Doctor Roberto Echerverria, one time head of the World Bank. A stunning wine with good structure, depth, pepper and fruit.
