Chile's Benchmark Cabernet, With Bottle Age
Casa Real has long been the wine Chile points to when it wants to stand beside Napa — Wine Enthusiast called the 2007 "probably the closest thing in style to great Napa Valley Cab." Nearly two decades on, it's in a mature drinking window: resolved tannins, layered fruit. Explore the cabernet sauvignon collection and more Santa Rita wines.
