Errazuriz Villa Don Maximiano 2017 750ml

The inaugural release of Villa Don Maximiano, a special blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, is elegant, dense and re fined. The wine displays fruit purity and intensity, yet it is distinctively focused. A rush of red fruit and-oral notes rise from the glass including notes of red cherry, fresh blueberries, cocoa and a soft note of currant leaves. Once in the palate, notes of sour cherries plus fresh blueberries emerge. It is a very fruity and refreshing wine that has a seamless impression from beginning to end. Its tannins are firm and well structured, with a beautiful intensity and balance. This vintage of Villa Don Maximiano will certainly age nicely for years to come.

95 Points - Descorchados

The second version of Villa is 28% syrah, 25% cabernet sauvignon, 20% malbec, 17% cabernet franc, and the rest is mourvèdre. 100% of the wine was aged in oak (75% in barrels and the rest in a foudre) for 22 months. It’s rich in red fruits and juicy tones of herbs and spices, but it’s also generous in vibrant textures supported by tense, nervy tannins.

94 Points - James Suckling

Beautiful aromas of currants, coffee and dried flowers.  Full body, round and juicy tannins with berry, chocolate and light vanilla undertones.  Delicious finish.
