Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Joaquin Hidalgo - 01 Mar 20
A Cabernet Sauvignon blended with 24% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot from Puente Alto, Maipo, aged for 18 months in barrels and clay vats due to the hot year. The usual local black currant flavors are present, along with maraschino cherry. Complex, with clear influence from the oak, this is an alcoholic wine with a firm structure and taut feel. A serious-minded balance between freshness and flavor allows it to breathe pleasantly.

Chile

Chile’s diverse geography – desert north, mountain spine, and coastal valleys – makes it a winemaker’s playground. From spicy Carménère to crisp Sauvignon Blanc, there’s a wealth of choice here. Newer regions like Limarí and Itata bring freshness and nuance, while Maipo and Colchagua deliver bold reds with classic poise. Chile continues to overdeliver, offering wines of quality and personality across the board.
