CRITIC REVIEWS
Luis Gutiérrez
The 2019 Almaviva is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carmenere (from Peumo), 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot, higher in Carmenere and reflecting a warmer and drier vintage when then bottled wine reached 15% alcohol. It fermented with destemmed grapes in stainless steel and matured in French oak barrels, 75% of them new, for 18 months. Here, the Carmenere adds herbal freshness and changes the aromatic profile when compared with the 2019 Epu. 2019 was a good year for Carmenere, which suffers in extremely warm years like 2017, but in moderately warm years like 2019, the variety displays that herbal character and has good density. It's full-bodied and round, with saturated tannins, tasty, spicy and long, with a dry, serious finish. It's balsamic, with notes of camphor and a silky and velvety texture. 200,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2021.

68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carmenere, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot. Youthful blackcurrant fruit with graphite and granite complexity - a petrichor note that seems very terroir-y. Baked black fruit with cocoa, and a definite mineral quality - from granitic on the nose to something more slaty on the palate. Long, fruit-driven finish with polenta-like tannins, balanced acid and milk-chocolate flavour on the finish. (RH)
