Every year the editors at Wine Spectator taste an enormous amount of wine. This year there were 10,500 entries that were evaluated based on their quality, value, availability, and “x-factor” (the story), and this was the winner. 
 
It’s a huge step not just for the winery, but for wines from the southern hemisphere.
 
The beauty of the composition in Don Melchor is the intermingling of the flavors, aromas, and emotions produced by the different parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon.
 
It is bringing together, in a balanced way, the expression of each of the parcels. It is finding the balance that enables the expression of a place, a soil, the Andes Mountains in a single wine.
 
But don’t just take our word for it:

“A remarkable effort that channels the finesse of the vintage with rich, muscular edges, offering a base of graphite and cassis notes that gather around elegant layers of dried rosemary and white pepper. The richly textured core of raspberry and plum flavors show precision and just enough acidity to keep things sailing onto the finish around well-integrated tannins and touches of cocoa.” Wine Spectator
