Chilean red wines have become quite good in recent years and yet, they still offer good value. Root 1 Vineyards, which produces a serviceable Carmenere, produces an exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and for less than ten dollars per-bottle.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely-planted grape in Chile, with more area under cultivation than any other nation, save France.
Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon typically produces a lighter colored, less tannic style of Cabernet Sauvignon, with juicy flavors of black cherry and plums predominating.
If you love value and a good Cab, then Root 1 is a good place to start your Chilean wine journey.
