Tasting Notes
Our 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon has inviting aromas of currants, blackberries and vanilla followed by notes of herbs de Provence and freshly baked brioche. Blackberry, sassafras and fresh thyme flavors are rounded out by hints of caramel and subtle graham cracker crust on the finish.
Vintage Notes
Chile’s growing season started with widespread frosts in mid-September, dropping the countries annual production between 25 and 50 percent. Due to a smaller harvest and barely any rain during bud break, flowering and ripening, harvest came earlier than in previous vintages. In addition, warmer than usual temperatures and an ongoing water shortage added stress to the grapes and produced some excellent quality wines. They were marked with balance, intense color and expressive fruit characteristics.
