Winemaker Notes

Ruby-red with violet hues. Aromatically intense and fruity, this wine reveals notes of red fruit like cherries and raspberries, as well as ripe black fruit like plums, blackberries and blackcurrants, which intermingle harmoniously with hints of black pepper and bay leaf. Furthermore, the oak-aging has lent this wine pleasant sweet notes like caramel, toffee and vanilla. This well-structured wine is medium-bodied with good length and has ripe, rounded tannins and a long and pleasant finish.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    This has attractively complex, fragrant aromas of stones and minerals with a dark edge to the fruit, as well as notes of Indian-ink , iodine, violets and wild mountain herbs. The palate has such intense tannins that are very centrally focused and composed. There’s a striking core of flavor here with good acidity. Blueberries and blackcurrants to close.
  • 91
    Cherry, blackberry and vanilla aromas are integrated and highly inviting, while a flush, clean palate is generous beyond the wine's price point. This Cab shows deep fruit, depth and balance from the midpalate through the finish.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

The Maipo Valley is Chile’s most famous wine region. Set in the country’s Central Valley, it is warm and quite dry, often necessitating the use of irrigation. Alluvial soils predominate but are supplemented with loam and clay.

The climate in Maipo is best-suited for ripe, full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon (the region’s most widely planted grape), Merlot, Syrah and Carmenère, a Bordeaux variety that has found a successful home in Chile.

White wines are also produced with great prosperity, especially near the cooler coast, include Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
