Clos des Fous Cauquenina Itata Costa DO 2014

Wild blackberry and dark fruit meet smoked meat, earth, violet, mint, anise and cracked pepper. The palate is dense and savory, with vibrant acidity, structured tannins and a complex, persistent finish that becomes increasingly floral and expressive with air.

Food Pairing: Pair with roasted lamb, grilled beef, smoked meats, game, hearty stews, charcuterie, or earthy mushroom dishes.

92 Points - James Suckling

Some berry and walnut character with hints of herb. Medium body, round tannins and a savory finish. Harmonious and cool. Drink now.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Traditional herbal berry and olive aromas are ideal for an old-vines Cauquenes red like this. In the mouth, this Malbec blend is flush and chewy. Blackberry, spice and toast flavors finish with power and an overriding sense of balanced ripeness. Drink through 2021.
