Winemaker Notes

Vina Tarapaca Gran Reserva Etiqueta Azul is a deep ruby color. The wine offers aromas of raspberry and cherry, plum, blackberry and cassis, as well as cassis and violet. Firm in structure and velvety on the palate. This wine is characterized by its balance of alcohol and acidity, with some mineral flavors such as graphite.

Critical Acclaim

D 97
Decanter
One of the most encouraging qualities of those Chilean wines which made it through to gold and platinum this year, our judges felt, was a new aromatic complexity and a much finer understanding of aromatic maturity in the vineyard than in the past. This complex, subtle and still youthful blend offers an excellent example of this. It's dark black-red, with creamy plum and currant notes as well as a hint of fragrant, cured Havana leaf. On the palate, it is concentrated and long, with admirable freshness lending life and energy to the red and black fruits. Meaty yet supple tannins bring ballast. It's harmonious and accessible now, but there is enough density here to carry it effortlessly through half a decade's maturation.

Creamy cassis, dark olives and tomato leaf with hints of cedar and incense. A flattering, full-bodied red with creamy oak and fine-grained tannins on the palate, before a long finish with some vanilla and sweet spices. Drink from 2023.

Wine Spectator

An elegant yet well-structured red, with a wonderful layer of chrysanthemum on display from start to finish, plus vibrant blackberry and plum flavors joined by subtle herb and spice details. Shows nice length around firm, chalky tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.
