"Fresh watermelon, strawberries, grapefruit, crushed pomegranate and some fresh, red flowers. Zesty grapefruit, elegant in style, with very firm, chalky tannins that are nicely integrated on the tangy and minerally attractive palate. A delicious and seductive cinsault. Can hold, but this is irresistible now."

"The 2021 Hub, named after jazz trumpet player Freddie Hubbard because the wine comes from a higher and rockier place in the village of Guarilihue and Parra considers Hubbard the most audacious of the trumpet players. The dry-farmed vines were planted 40 years ago in the higher part of Guarilihue on rocky granite soils with lots of silt and quartz and less sand. It fermented in concrete tanks with 100% full clusters (that amount has been increased in the last few years) and indigenous yeasts, then the wine matured in concrete vat for 11 months. It has a developed orangish color and developed nose, which is as reminiscent of Rayas as any other wine I have tried in my life, with cherries in liqueur and brick dust, expressive and open, with some herbal, minty, almost eucalyptus-like notes. The palate is austere, pure sand and rocks, pure grip, bone with no meat. This wine is only bones, and the only trumpet player with no meat and only bones was Hubbard. For geeky stony wine people... Awesome! 2,664 bottles were filled in February 2022. He purchased this vineyard in 2021, so he manages it 100% his way."
