Tasting notes:

From the Millahue Valley in Cachapoal, this Cabernet Franc–dominant blend shows black berry and cherry on the nose, with oak-derived toast-like notes and a touch of cigar box. The palate is intense and structured, with firm, grippy tannins. Cabernet Franc drives the profile, with red fruit, a hint of peppercorn, and some leafy notes, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds weight and blackcurrant flavours. Despite its concentration, it remains balanced. Long, dry finish with persistent tannin. Youthful, with clear ageing potential. Patrick Schmitt MW
