THIS FRIDAY NIGHT
The Black Sheep Of Chile
7th Annual Wines of Chile Awards - Oveja Negra Wines
Best Value Award for Oveja Negra Wines
For the past couple of months, one of our regular salespeople, Mr.
Shawn Taylor, has been cajoling us to let him host a Friday night and
present to you a selection of wine. We put him off as long as we
possibly could - but we ran out of reasons to postpone. And so, for the
very first time, on our big stage - please welcome Shawn Taylor and the
wines of Oveja Negra. He sincerely looks forward to meeting you and
sharing these award winning selections from Chile.
This
emblematic San Rafael Estate is located in the geographical area of San
Rafael in the Maule Valley, close to the Andes Mountains and the
Descabezado Volcano.
Since 1994 550-hectares have been planted
predominantly to red varieties. In 1998 this all organic project
commenced totaling today 38 hectares planted to Cabernet Franc, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah and Pinot
Noir. In search of better expression and identity of each variety,
Oveja Wines has investigated the range that best match the
characteristics of the soil in San Rafael.
The climate is
Mediterranean throughout the valley, with variations from the coast to
the Andes. Even temperatures and scant precipitation is the norm due to
the proximity to the Pacific Ocean.
There is no doubt that these
wines are a bargain for upcoming holidays and you may consider stocking
up a bit. Please join us on Friday night.
1 - Sauvignon Blanc/Carmenere - 11 90 Points
2 - Cabernet Sauvignon / Syrah - 11 88 Points
3 - Cabfranc / Carmenere - 11 89 Points
4 - Lost Barrel - 14 90 Points
This is an opportunity
to get a taste of the Maule Valley wine region in Chile's Central
Valley. Although not as well-known as some of the country's other wine
regions, Maule is the largest and one of the oldest in Chile.
