Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Intense deep red color, with outstanding aromas of red fruits, sour cherries, flowers and mineral notes. Very refreshing, complex and well-structured on the palate, its rustic tannins have been tamed by the time spent in old barrels bestowing a better evolution of the tannins.

Pairs well with any type meat, especially lamb because the tannins cut through the fattiness without hiding the flavors of the food. Also a good match with strong cheeses.

93 Points - Descorchados
Chile’s newest carignans are like this one, with radiantly fresh red fruit, wild, sharp tannins ready to welcome sausages, and those floral details in the midst of bright, illuminating acidity. This carignan is from vineyards planted in Melozal (a key name for the variety in Chile) in 1958, and, although it has a long life ahead of it, we recommend that you drink it now to take advantage of that cascade of fruit.

90 Points - Decanter
Spicy, savoury aromas with brighter top notes of redcurrant and cranberry on the nose. The palate is fresh, with crunchy sour cherry fruit, blackberries, herbs and spices and well integrated tannins. A great food wine.

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I wished for some more varietal character in the 2018 Gran Reserva Carignan, but at least the wine is fresh and balanced with moderate ripeness and alcohol compared with most of its siblings. It has some grainy tannins and a dry finish. It matured in concrete eggs and untoasted foudre for one year.
