Notes
6/4/08
Distinctively true to its roots this shows true terroir influenced notes of a cool menthol quality coming up through the dark cherry and red current fruit on the nose, counterpoised with a slight loam and herbal note as well aromatically. The palate offers an attractive suppleness, fuller bodied with some nice juicy notes to the darker red fruit flavors. Layered with a solid beam of acidity running through, this has good depth and persistence that gives this a lot of appeal as the tannins are there, yet finer tuned, which says you can enjoy now, but holding for a year or two won’t hurt either.

A clear expression of Alto Maipo character, this cabernet is filled with menthol and juicy cherry flavors, its tannins as firm as there are refined. The acidity enhances the cherry tones as the wine gains in herbal, ripe red fruit flavors and depth.
