"Wonderful aromas of black olives, meat and currants. Hints of fresh mint. Full to medium body, with sublime tannin texture that feels like the finest silk. A finish that lasts for minutes. Palate has amazing energy, richness and freshness. A great wine. So layered and balanced. 93% cabernet sauvignon and 7% cabernet franc. Drink or hold."

Product Description:

"Don Melchor has reached yet another milestone in its already illustrious history. The influential US magazine Wine Spectator revealed its much-awaited list of the Top 100 Wines of the Year, on which the 2012 Don Melchor appears as the highest-ranking Chilean wine and the only Cabernet Sauvignon of the vintage. This major recognition places Don Melchor among the world’s greatest Cabernet Sauvignons and makes it Chile’s most award-winning wine—the only one to have appeared 8 times on this prestigious list.

The 2012 growing season was a warm one, and the temperatures were higher than usual throughout the grapes’ growing and ripening season. The cooling influence of the Andes Mountains and an early harvest, however, resulted in bunches with good ripening and tremendous balance between freshness and tannin quality." -Winery
