2003 Undurraga Founder's Collection:
     We had this Cabernet Sauvignon on Friday evening with dinner.  I have found a lot of top notch Chilean Cabs to be too fruit forward in the California mold, but this one had mellowed quite a bit since '03 and was really drinking well.  It was juicy, but had the right amount of balance and complexity to not blow you away out of the starting blocks.  Penny said she brought this one back from Chile, so I'm not sure you'll have any luck finding it in the States.  Yet another reason why we need more Chilean wines to make it over here.  We are missing out on good stuff like this!
