THE WINEMAKER’S VINTAGE NOTES The red wines harvest started in late March and lasted for several weeks, waiting for the phenolics to develop. The Cabernet Sauvignon harvest ran from April 10th and continued into the first week of May. The harvest weather remained dry and the fruit was healthy and fully mature. Coming out of the fermentors, Cousiño-Macul’s Cabernet showed rich fruit and ripe tannins without any signs of over-maturity. TASTING NOTES Opaque purple in colour, this Estate Cabernet offers aromatics of ripen blackberries, plum, herbs and cacao. Medium in body and light tannin, it captures the essence of Maipo Valley fruit. In the mouth, the flavours continue the blackberry-blueberry themes with hints of cassis and black olives. Its lingering finish echoes the black fruits and ends on a tangy cherry brightness. With time in the glass, this Cabernet unfolds beautifully, suggesting it can be enjoyed in its youth or cellared for 2 to 5 years.
