Viñedo Chadwick 2019
Puente Alto, Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileAfter a near perfect growing season, the 2019 harvest began under ideal conditions on March 15. Viñedo Chadwick, at its best, is a story of finesse with the ability to age forever. The nose is an exotic mix of floral red fruits and orange peels. The entry is a fine mix of tension and richness with layers of intense red fruit, something you should expect at this price level. It has an elegance you don't often encounter in Napa, and a power that often eludes Bordeaux's pricey crus. In my estimation, it's a Chilean superstar and worth cellaring through 2029. Viñedo Chadwick sits on the northern bank of the Maipo River, on the third alluvial terrace, which is older and higher than the previous two. This is Puente Alto, home to the region's oldest and highest quality vineyards. Its stony, clay loam and sandy loam textured soils come with high levels of calcium carbonate, accumulated over millennia in the soil and gravel, likely the key to its freshness and minerality of these reds.Tasted: 23 April 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $459.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
