Ripe-blackberry and herbal notes give this generous yet nicely balanced and warm red a lot of appeal. The supple tannins add some nice structure at the long, moderately dry finish.

Luis Gutiérrez, Août 2021 (Millésime 2017)

The red blend 2017 Cauquenina is approximately of 40% Carignan, 30% País, 20% Cinsault and 10% Carmenere, quite different from previous years and higher in Carignan and with a notable percentage of Cinsault. It fermented at low temperature and matured in concrete and 5,000-liter oak foudre for six months. There is a little more rusticity here, perhaps the higher percentage of Cariñena this year. There is also a smoky and spicy note reminiscent of the Chilean spice mix called merkén, with some notes of graphite too. It's medium-bodied and has some dusty tannins.

Avril 2020 (Millésime 2017)

Very spicy and rustic, meaty nose with star-anise, white pepper and smoked meat, lying over savory plums and eucalyptus. Fresh, succulent palate of medium weight with some nice, peppery accents in the finish. Tight and elastic. Delicious.
