The 2007 Winemaker’s Blend is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. It reveals an excellent nose of cedar, smoked meat, lavender, blackcurrant, and blueberry. Concentrated, spicy, and elegant on the palate, it will continue to blossom for another 2-3 years but can be approached now. The nature of Chile’s wine industry mitigates against small, boutique wineries. One of the few that comes close to qualifying is the biodynamically farmed Matetic winery. It is a brilliantly run winery whose youthful vineyards will only get better with the passage of time. I wrote that one year ago and nothing has happened to change my mind.Importer: F.P.D.
