Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley has juicy raspberry, blueberry, and plum aromas with wet cedar notes and hints of vanilla bean. It is full-bodied on the palate, with red berry flavours, sweet spice, black pepper, and roasted cocoa bean at the finish. The tannins are smooth and it is a nicely balanced wine.

Wine-Food Pairing: Braised beef. Venison. Sharp cheese.

Tasted October 2018 at the Vina San Pedro wine tasting event.

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile's Upper Maipo Valley. Shows ripe berry aromas of raspberry, cherry and blueberry, made more interesting by spicy notes due to 12 months aging in French oak. A medium-bodied Cab, round in the mouth with smooth tannins and an elegant finish that gives a spicy mocha touch. Excellent match for roast beef or lamb, meat stews or strong cheese.
Tasted Oct. 2018 with the winemaker, Matias Cruzat.

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This was served lightly chilled at the San Pedro 1865 winemakers’ meet and wine tasting. The aromas we really refined on this with a pronounced display of blackberry, cranberry and earthy patent leather. Flavours reveal red plums, tomato, red pepper and savoury peppery cedar driven heat. Medium plus acidity, body and refined - yet distinct tannins. Needs fatty charcuterie, steak and a visit with friends! 90 points - Tasted October 23, 2018
