2013 | Casas del Toqui | Loica Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

Very complex nose with hints of tobacco, spices and black fruits, and a soft hint of vanilla. Balanced with firm but silky tannins, good body and with a long and very persistent finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Plum and berry aromas show a sprinkle of chocolaty oak. A plump fleshy palate is fruit-loaded, while this tastes of wild berry fruits, with a touch of wood spice. On the finish, this is more smoky but never sheds its dark-fruit essence.

• James Suckling: This has a leafy and gently lifted, rose-like floral edge with red-apple and cherry aromas, leading to a gently grainy palate that carries plenty of ripe-fruit flavor.

Producer Information

Many modern wine drinkers have passed Chilean wine by, but one group that hasn’t is the French—more specifically, many of the great châteaux of Bordeaux, who’ve shown unwavering belief in the quality of Chile’s terroirs. There was a time, not long ago, when Chilean (and Argentine) wine was the height of fashion, but these days, people many times forgets. One group that never gave up on Chile was the French, and more specifically, some of the greatest winemakers and châteaux of Bordeaux, who seized upon opportunities in the 1990s (as Chile re-emerged as a democracy after the Pinochet dictatorship) and haven’t looked back. Of course, the other group that didn’t give up on Chile was the Chileans: Casas del Toqui was originally founded in 1994 by Bordeaux’s Château Larose-Trintaudon, which partnered with a group of local growers in the Cachapoal Valley, the northern sub-section of the Rapel Valley south of Santiago. The Court family of Chile has since acquired the estate, and has undertaken the hard work of producing the best wines in Chile.
