The 2020 Coyam is a blend of 38% Syrah, 37% Carménère, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Carignan, 4% Garnacha, 4% Mourvèdre, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec and 1% Tempranillo from the Los Robles vineyard in Colchagua. It was aged for 18 months, 75% in barrels and the rest in foudres and eggs. A rich purple in the glass. The complex nose features nuanced aromas ranging from blackberry to blueberry and currant with hints of cedar and spice. In the mouth, it’s juicy with a grippy texture and delicate, concentrated but relaxed tannins before the lengthy finish. It seems that the healthy biodynamic vineyard was able to withstand the warmth of 2020. An extremely well-made wine that handled the conditions with aplomb.

This flagship wine from organic producer Emiliana hugely over-delivers for the price. A seamless blend of old-vine Syrah, Caremenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Grenache and Mourvedre, with dashes of Petit Verdot, Malbec and Tempranillo. Harmonious nose of cassis, fruits of the forest, black currant leaf, redcurrants and dark chocolate. Poised and complex palate: ripe, juicy fruit is balanced by freshness and a sappy florality, with hints of violet, mocha, pencil shavings, liquorice, rounded tannins and a lingering finish. Super stuff!

A complex nose, showing fresh blackberries, chili chocolate, red plums, peppermint, tobacco and grilled spices. This is a juicy, full-bodied red, showing tight and fine-grained tannins and a bright, minty palate, before a very lengthy finish. 38% syrah, 37% carmenere, 8% cabernet sauvignon, 5% carignan, 4% garnacha, 4% mourvedre, 2% petit verdot, 1% malbec and 1% tempranillo. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drinkable now, but better after 2024, when the assertive tannins will have softened more.
