Maipo Valley is the home of Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile. This delicious red at a budget-friendly price confirms it. It starts with strawberry and wood spice aromas that introduce a lively palate, with notes of red fruit and cinnamon. In the finish, leafy notes add another layer of flavor.

The 2022 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a direct, red-fruited, dusty bouquet supplemented with spice-driven accents. The palate is succulent, seamless and energetic, concluding with a straightforward, savory and subtly drying finish. As with much of the Tarapacá range, this offers a solid, polished expression of contemporary Maipo. It contains 5% Syrah.

Tightly wound at the moment, featuring abundant five-spice details that surround a concentrated blackberry core, with floral notes and vibrant, minerally acidity driving the finish. Concludes with structured tannins and a toasty mocha note. Drink now through 2034. 44,000 cases made, 220 cases imported.
