Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: 2017 was a very low-yielding and warm year, and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for the 2017 Viñedo Chadwick were harvested earlier than ever, in early March, to avoid excessive ripeness and keep good freshness. This has the classical minty Maipo profile, with more grip, concentration and tannin—polished, fine-grained tannin—than the 2016. It has good weight and combines power with elegance, in a clean and classical style. The oak is nicely integrated, and in 2014 they started using larger 2,500-liter foudres even for the Cabernet Sauvignon; the profile of the wine has changed toward more integration and less presence of the oak aromas and flavors. This is textbook Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon with a small touch of Petit Verdot in an elegant way. Even if I like the style of the 2016 very much, I'll give the edge to this 2017.

• Wine Spectator: The pure fruit and juicy tannins are so succulent and enticing. Full body and soft, silky tannins. Complete. Everything is where it should be. Ripe fruit and tangy acidity provide energy and balance. Love the finish. Precise and fine-grained texture. Cabernet sauvignon with a touch of petit verdot.

Producer Information

Viñedo Chadwick is the award-winning flagship Chilean red wine of the Viñedos Chadwick group, which also owns labels such as Errazuriz and Seña. It is a single-vineyard release heavily based on Cabernet Sauvignon, with just a dash of Petit Verdot.The first vintage, the 1999, was released to widespread acclaim, while the 2000 release made headlines when it won an international blind tasting in Berlin in 2004, pitched against some of the greatest wines of France and Italy. The 2014 and 2017 vintages were given 100-point scores by leading critic James Suckling.The vineyard is located at the estate which is the Chadwick family home in the Alto Maipo Valley. The vines were planted in 1992 on what was formerly Don Alfonso Chadwick's polo field (after some campaigning by his son Eduardo who had recognized the potential of the terroir).
