San Pedro 1865 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe label salutes the origins of San Pedro just over 150 years ago. The wine is a selection of top cabernet grapes from 40-year-old, thin, rocky, alluvial-based soils in the Maipo Valley. A five-day cold soak previews a 25 to 30-day ferment before the juice spends a year in oak – 95 percent French; half new, half second fill. This is a much better wine in 2014 versus 2013. The textures are more refined and there is less reduction and resin. The fruit is red, blue and aromatic, lifted by classic bay leaf, boldo with a spicy back end flecked with dark chocolate. Serve now with grilled beef or age through 2020. Impressive.Tasted: 11 May 2018Tasted by: Prices:

San Pedro 1865 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis opens with a wave of reduction, and requires some airtime. Meaty, with tar, pitch, freshly roasted coffee, grilled meats, and brooding black fruit, this is a hefty and full bodied red, thankfully with a swell of acidity to assist. One month of maceration and ferment is followed by one year in wood (95 percent French and the rest American), half of which were new. This requires a decant, and roasted red meats to match.Tasted: 29 March 2018Tasted by: Prices:
