Description
The grapes that Casas del Bosque sources for their Gran Reserva come from old ungrafted hillside vineyards,, planted in the late 1950’s, and the approach taken towards this variety is, quite simply, don´t overdo it and just let the fruit shine. From the selection of the grapes to the vinification and ageing process, the core idea is to express the spicier, slightly minty notes that make Chilean Cabernet so special.
The result is a concentrated, juicy and easy to pair Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of tobacco that go pretty well with not just red meats, but even vegetarian food, adding versatility
to this variety. Seldom do we come across a wine that over-delivers like this, vintage after vintage.

James Suckling
Attractive purity and fragrance with aromas of roses, violets, raspberries and red plums, all intertwined. The palate has a fresh, juicy feel with supple, lively tannins carrying a bright, fresh finish. Drink or hold.

Taut, with well-framed dark berry and cherry flavors that are backed by fresh acidity and tannins. Peppery midpalate, with leafy aspects on the trim finish. Drink now through 2023. 4,000 cases made, 1,400 cases imported.
