Oveja Negra 2006 wine review by (BP)


This is a Chilean blend of Cabernet Franc and Carmenere. The hue of this wine whose name means "Black Sheep" is black cherry in tone with some garnet depth. Mineral notes highlight a lighter medium red berry thrust in the nose.

Palate is spicy with bready front and coarse flavors that are tight and unresolved with a bitter finish.

With air, there are musty notes with earthy tones and white pepper on the palate. Even at $10 I just didn't care for this wine; the style or the blend. Pass on this puppy!

    Loved the wine - i had it on several occasions - i introduced it to my friends and they loved it =
    easy on the taste buds and it gives you such a warm sensation when it is going down - will recommend it to anyone.
    go Chile
