Valle de Aconcagua, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThis Aconcagua cabernet was fermented in stainless before heading to French barrels for 14 months (30% new). Super green and pyrazine-led, with green branch, ample smoke, toasted cedar clouding some muddled red fruits underneath. The alcohol is warming beyond its declared 13.5%. This needs fire-grilled meats to match.Tasted: 08 December 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 29.77 private wine shops

Valle de Aconcagua, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThis is an archetypical Chilean cabernet from Aconcagua: ripe and powerful with cassis and no shortage of pungent pyrazines. As a result, the fruit effortlessly carries the oak (14 months in French barriques, 30% new) but lacks dimension. Medium-full bodied, though lacking some concentration on the midpalate, the tannins are dense but fairly fine, with a disjointed tartness to the finish. This may not capture the next wave of Chilean winemaking, but it's still a satisfying, hedonistic pour, and will pair nicely with a flank steak topped with chimichurri sauce.Tasted: 29 October 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 29.77 private wine shops
