Acclaim
The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Antiguas Reservas remains one of the finest Cabernet values anywhere. Fragrant black currants and blackberry aromas promise complexity with several years of additional bottle age. Nicely structured on the palate, this elegant, Bordeaux-like Cabernet will evolve for a minimum of five years and drink well through 2025.
— Wine Advocate, Apr 2009
Year's Best Chilean Cabernet - Best Buy - For fans of Antiguas Reservas, this vintage hits the wine's style with its earthy aromas, delicate structure and expansive fruit flavors. Perfect with oven-roasted rabbit.
