This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, from the "Los Lingues" vineyard in Alto Colchagua, is the result of the family's continuous search for quality wines that faithfully reflect the best of the terroir.
Intense violet color. Aromas of cassis are complemented with notes of mature red fruit and chocolate. Elegant, balanced and richly structured with a long finish.

"The region of Los Lingues in Colchagua is influenced by cool breezes from the Andes Mountains. As a result, this wine opens with notes of cranberry and plum. Additional aromas include eucalyptus and smoke. It's full-bodied and has a solid structure thanks to firm tannins that provide support to red fruit flavors and mint. Elevated acidity gives it depth. - Jesica Vargas"

"Ripe and full-flavoured, but showing the freshness and balance that are features of the Los Lingues terroir, this is a well-made varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from Fabiola Calderon. Showing some stony reduction, it's a bright, minty, blackcurrant fruity number with deftly applied oak. 2023-28"

"The 2017 vintage of the Los Lingues Cabernet Sauvignon is in every respect the equal of the 2016, which we rated highly. It begins with smoky, dark fruited nose and proceeds to a round, silky, well balanced palate of mineral-inflected, herbal-tinged dark cassis. There’s a sense of refinement and balance to this wine."

"The Los Lingues Cabernet Sauvignon is a serious, youthful wine with lots of promise, and it offers exceptional value for the price. Showing cedar-tinged dark red fruit on the nose, it has an expressive, silky palate of generous black currant and blackberry fruit and round but fairly dry tannins. Aged in French and American oak for 8 months."

"Berry and plum aromas include notes of spicy oak, and overall, this Cabernet opens with good ripeness for an El Niño vintage. A fairly tight body is more racy than dense, while spicy berry and plum flavors are a bit chocolaty prior to a finish with prune notes. Drink through 2024.- MICHAEL SCHACHNER"
