CRITIC REVIEWS
Joaquín Hidalgo
The 2021 Viñedo Chadwick is a Cabernet Sauvignon with a dash of Petit Verdot (3%) from Puente Alto, Maipo. It was aged for 22 months, 80% in new French oak barrels and 20% in foudres. The mild summer in the area helped to sculpt the vivid, nuanced aromatic profile: crystal clear blackcurrant notes with sour cherry and raspberry layers plus hints of pepper over a faint cigar box bed. Silky and dry in the mouth, the finely tuned Maipo tannins and refreshing acidity from the cool year make for a long-lasting, complex wine. A Bordeaux-inspired red that enjoyed the very Bordelaise weather in the region this year.

Full bottle 1,438 g. From Eduardo Chadwick's 15-ha vineyard in Chile's prime Cabernet country just outside Santiago towards the Andes. Mid lustrous crimson. Creamy and mineral-layered with a bite of something stony on the end and great vivacity. I suspect that, served alongside a red bordeaux at the same price, it might make the bordeaux seem a bit ponderous, but then it's the same price at Ch Palmer 2021!! Delicate and really lively. A truly satisfying drink that is definitely more approachable than the Palmer! (JR)
