Rich fruit expressions of red berries, currants and touches of paprika, gooseberry leaves and dark chocolate. Juicy and pretty full-bodied on the palate, with fine-grained, dusty tannins and a lengthy finish. Fleshy, generous and well-balanced. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Gran Reserva Escudo Rojo blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Maipo. Garnet in color, it offers ripe fruit aromas along with balsamic, bay leaf and sweet briar notes. Rich and bold, the palate delivers a soft, overwhelming mouthfeel—an honest wine.
