Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve 2007

Valle de Aconcagua, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThe top of the line Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve 2007 is based on 82 percent cabernet sauvignon blended to equal parts of cabernet franc, petit verdot and syrah and the result is an inviting fragrant nose of red fruits and liquorice. Founders is always very pure expression of Aconcagua with its intense aromatic cedar, cassis and balsamic notes. The palate is elegant and the tannins well-managed. Red currants, spice, and blackberry fruit disappear into the youthful French oak and vanilla all in balance. Hearty winter dishes will settle this young red down but it should be perfect by 2016.
