RATINGS

98The Wine Advocate

...has good acidity and freshness, coming through as medium-bodied, elegant and balanced...incredibly elegant, subtle and harmonious...floral aromas, notes of orange peel, a touch of creamy sweet spices and great freshness...seamless and pure, with pungent flavors and a soft texture. It's long, clean, defined and super tasty.

98James Suckling

Such beautiful aromas of crushed berries, currants, walnuts, allspice and nutmeg follow through to a full body...ultra fine tannins that provide length and intensity. A finish of slightly dried cherries with wet earth, slate and stone. Chewy and fine-grained.

93Wine Spectator

Boasts vibrant red cherry and berry flavors, which are well-knit and bear a minerally richness. The juicy finish features accents of dried green herbs and is supported by engaging tannins.

17.5Jancis Robinson

...nose is layered with roasted plum, sun-dried tomatoes and violets. There is a hint of mint, but this complements rather than dominates the fruit...palate is bright with fresh blackcurrant and dark cherry, with silky ripe tannins adding a glossy texture. Crisp acidity lifts the fruit profile to bright plums and red fruit. Long, spicy and fresh on the finish.

REGION

Chile, Aconcagua Region

Chile has produced wine since the 16th century, when Spanish conquistadores brought grape vines and established vineyards. Sweet wines were favored until well into the 19th century, when French immigrants began making dry wines with a decidedly French character. Chile’s long, narrow, coastal geography has made the transportation of wines challenging over the centuries, though today it is a major exporter. To the west is the Pacific Ocean, to the east are the Andes. But the isolation has also meant that Chile vineyards have so far never been attacked by phylloxera, meaning that unlike viticulturalists in many other part of the world, Chilean vineyards can be planted with original rootstock, saving producers the laborious job of grafting vines onto phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. Chile started an appellation system in 1994, and there are five regions each with numerous sub-regions. Chile has attracted investment from European and American producers, including Robert Mondavi Winery, Kendall-Jackson, Lafite-Rothschild and Miguel Torres.
