"Really vivid and racy blue fruit to the nose. Punchy and floral with bright acidity that cuts through the tense, full-bodied palate, and creamy, melted tannins which are well integrated and expansive. Excellent fruit purity and raciness. Cabernet sauvignon grafted onto old-vine pais. Lot 114. Drink or hold."

"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Renacido Vineyard comes from Coronel de Maule, Cauquenes, in the Maule Region. It was aged for 2 winters in used barrels. The redcurrant-inflected nose also contains jammy blueberry and sweetbrier notes with touches of boldo, graphite and garrigue. Dry and juicy in the mouth, the fairly reactive tannins and full-bodied palate make for a somewhat tacky, structured red. A wine that demonstrates the importance of harvesting at just the right point in a warm year."

"The 2020 Renacido Vineyard, marked with Lt #114, was produced with Cabernet Sauvignon from Cauquenes (Maule), searching for finesse, tension and fine tannins. It was produced with grapes from ancient Pa¡s vines regrafted to Cabernet Sauvignon 10 years ago with some 12% Malbec in the field blend that has been, in the words of Derek Mossman, "uncertified organic for 75+ years." It fermented in open lagars with indigenous yeasts and a small portion of whole clusters that were foot-trodden, then it matured in neutral barrels over two winters. It has 13.4% alcohol and an incredible pH of 3.3 with 6.23 grams of acidity. There's finesse and perfume here, with the core of 2020 ripeness, but all very subtle. 6,940 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022"
