Both wines are prepared by the winemaker Ignacio Recabarren.
92 pts. Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
“Firm berry and plum aromas come with equal amounts of spice, oak and earthy notes. This is forward and concentrated. Loamy blackberry and blueberry flavors get a boost from tobacco, licorice and chocolate accents before finishing muscular and spicy. Drink through 2022.” (Michael Schachner)
90 pts. Sauvignon Blanc 2012
“This perennially excellent wine is as good as you’ll find in 2012. Scallion, lime and other green aromas precede a zesty, hard-driving palate. Sea shell, grapefruit, lime and chervil flavors set up a tight, minerally finish.” (Michael Schachner)
