Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis is an honest wine that's not trying to be something that it's not. You feel the warmth of Chile through its soft, lush black fruits, but it's not doused in oak and still retains the lively herbal character of cabernet. More medium-bodied than full, it's a fresher style that will make a solid Tuesday night wine. I'd like to see a notch more polish to the tannins, which are a bit rough at this point, but it will still go down easy with a pizza.Tasted: 24 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe wine has a long, storied history as Reserva Antiguas, although I would argue its best wines have come in the last decade. 2016 is another good effort that subdues the classic Chilean boldo notes in favour of more balanced bay leaf, cassis, black cherry, spice, and touch of light chocolate. Cleaner and fresher, it’s in a better position to tell the story of Maipo. Good value.Tasted: 16 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:
