This single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon grown at the foothills of the Andes Mountains shows great varietal character and a rich, voluptuous mouthfeel that is very alluring. Brooding notes of cassis, blackberry, and coffee wrap around the wine's firm tannic frame, yielding a benchmark bottling that shows noteworthy precision and focus in the mouth. Made by William Fevre, the famed producer of Chablis in Burgundy, in collaboration with the Pino-Arrigorriaga family of Chile.
