Delicate floral scents with citrus and green herbal notes open the way for supple green fruit and contrasting steely mineral in the mouth. Finishes with lingering crisp fruit and mouth-watering acidity.
Mellow-ripe citrus and tropical fruit with a whiff of banana on the nose lead the way for agreeably balanced lemon citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by a touch of mineral grip. An easily affordable wine that pairs equally well with grilled salmon and roast chicken.
Thick on the palate with juicy blackberry, blackcurrant, inky plum, smoked meats, pipe tobacco, dried violets and dried desert scrub herbs. This bold Cabernet Sauvignon is much more refined in 2015 than in previous vintages, with the wood fading more into the background and the alcohol fieriness capped at a respectable 14 degrees. Cab Sauv from Rapel and Colchagua Valleys, plus 10% Merlot, go into this powerful red, one that 55% spent in French wood (1st, 2nd, 3rd use) for a year prior to bottling. Tannins are big and grippy but softened, while cedar and mint scent the briefer finish. Well done to freshen and modernize this compact red.
Dense purple-ruby in colour, it has a cedary, blackcurrant leaf nose with vanilla oak note; medium to full-bodied, its juicy black currant and plum flavours fill the mouth finishing on firm but not aggressive tannins.
