Winemaker Notes
Deep, dark opaque red. Aromas of ripe black berry fruit with a
subtle hint of toasty oak. Flavors of red and black berry fruit
flavors with hints of dried plums, fresh acidity and a long finish
with fine, elegant tannins.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon displays notions of cedar, spice box, a hint of balsamic, cassis, and blackberry. Nicely proportioned, spicy, and layered, it has the balance and structure to drink well for another 5-6 years.
-
Wine Spectator
This rich red leads with a distinct earthiness to the dark cassis, plum reduction and kirsch notes, gaining traction with layers of woodsy spices, maduro tobacco and licorice that unfold on the long, slightly hot, finish.

Primus is a leading brand in the Chilean premium segment and a preeminent example of Chilean quality capabilities. The name Primus is Latin and means “the first” or “the first among its peers”, and for good reason. The winery was founded more than 20 years ago by Agustin Hunneus. It was truly a pioneering brand as the first blend of the signature red grapes of Chile: Cabernet and Carmenere. Today, The Blend is still the standard bearer for Primus, and has been joined by two single varietal wines: Primus Cabernet Sauvignon and Primus Carmenere. Fruit is selected from the most renowned areas in Chile for red varieties: Apalta, a sub-region Colchagua, and Maipo. These are food wines, known for their balance, elegance and freshness. Aging in oak barrels and foudres gives elegance and finesse to the wines. All farming practices are organic.
