Natalie's Score: 90/100

A deep, rich Cabernet with firm tannins and lovely ripe blackberry fruit, savoury and earthy flavours on the palate. The name Koyle comes from the native Chilean plant which grows in oak forests and that produces a beautiful purple flower as well as greatly desired fruit. This endangered species is found abundantly in the winery's vineyards located in Alto Colchagua.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: rich meat-based pasta dishes, grilled steaks with a flavourful sauce, pork tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

Koyle Gran Reserva 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is great value under $20. This is a vegan-friendly Cab with fresh and vibrant blackberry, savoury herb and toasty oak spice flavours on the palate with big tannins. Decant for an hour or two and pair with rare cuts of beef. The wine is so named after the beautiful Chilean Koyle flower and fruit that can be found on the mountainside vineyards of ViƱa Koyle. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
