Los Vascos Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

OK, so first my apologies for letting over a week go by without a new review.  While I can say, “I’ve been really busy,” ultimately that’s just an excuse and I hate excuses.  Rather than that, I will promise to do better this week.

If you’re a regular reader, it will come as no surprise that I’m reviewing yet another Chilean wine.  The outstanding values coming from Chile are too good to pass up.

We’ve actually reviewed some other Los Vascos wines before, including a previous vintage of their Cabernet Sauvignon.  This particular bottle is labeled as “Special Selection” and it’s only available from Whole Foods.  So, I guess that means it was “specially selected” for them.  It is from Colchagua Valley and it is 14% ABV, just like the Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon that’s not labeled as “Special Selection,” so I honestly don’t know if there’s any real difference between the stuff labeled as “Special Selection” that you’ll find at Whole Foods and the regular Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon that you’ll find elsewhere.   In other words, the “Special Selection” part could just be a marketing thing.  Nonetheless it’s a good wine.
