Reviews

Romazini: 5/5 Stars

The Winemaker

The grapes for this wine are from Colchagua valley, some of them coming from our Marchigue estate. 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine goes through a oak ageing of six months in new and used American oak barrels. A young Merlot with some oak ageing. Elegant, refined and a marked fruitiness almost irresistible to Merlot lovers and to those who sample it for the first time. Strong, spicy black pepper, full of harmony and soft to the palate. Aurelio decided to blend 15% Cabernet Sauvignon with this Merlot, to better marry with the oak, and give structure and finesse that will also permit long term ageing.

Stephen Tanzer: 88/100 Points

Bright red. Complex aromas of dried cherry, redcurrant, mint and licorice. Fresh, finely etched red berry flavors display good concentration and betray no fat or hard edges. Very easy to drink, with impressive finishing sweetness and clarity. This is a great value.
