"The 2020 Garnacha Bagual Vineyard - Lot 119 from Maule was aged for 2 years in used French barrels. Garnet-red with a brick-dust sheen. The delicate nose presents hints of mint and sour cherry as well as dried flowers against a balsamic backdrop. Intense and dry in the mouth, the grippy tannins and taut acidity lead into a liqueur-like, lingering finish."

"The 2020 Bagual Vineyard Cari¤ena Garnacha Monastrell comes from plants that have been worked with regenerative farming with grower-partner the Solar family in transition now for three years, and it's the first vineyard in Chile (three in Bagual) to receive Ecological Outcome Verification‰ (EOV‰) from the Savory Institute. It has 13.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.25 and 6.75 grams of acidity. Despite the moderate alcohol, I found the imprint of rusticity from 2020, the earthiness and the ripeness sensation, but as I often saw in many wines, the palate showed better, so it could be a transitional moment for the nose. The wine is medium-bodied with fine-grained, granite tannins and with purity of flavors and a long finish. 5,239 bottles were filled in February 2022."

"Sweet baked cherries that almost get jammy. Kirsch and creme de cassis notes. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, with rich fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Vertical and ample. Drink now."
