This unoaked blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Carménère is crafted in a ripe, fruit-forward, easy-drinking style. The nose and palate abound with sweet red and dark fruit flavours underscored by subtle herbal and floral hints. Quite firm and fresh on the finish. 2023-2026 – JB
Hacienda de Molina Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc, Curicó Valley
For much of its history, the Curicó Valley grape growing area was encompassed within the larger Maule Valley. It is now considered distinct, with a cool mesoclimate in its eastern vineyard area that gives particular freshness to its wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc blend definitely benefits from lively acidity, balancing its bold, tannic personality. Classic flavours of cassis and plum mingle with subtly oaked nuances of cedar and spice. 2023-2028 – JB
Hacienda de Molina Reserva Cabernet Franc Syrah, Maule Valley
This Cabernet Franc-dominant Syrah blend is sourced from the southerly Maule Valley. It features a heady nose of ripe dark fruit, sweet tobacco, and dark chocolate. This is a Reserva bottling, aged for six months in French oak barrels, which brings a subtle oak spice to the finish. Very youthful and firm, with bold tannins. Offers good short-term ageing potential. 2023-2028 – JB
