Don Melchor comes from a unique 313-acre vineyard planted on the rock soils of one of the Maipo River’s oldest terraces at the foot of the Andes Mountains, one of the world’s most celebrated terroirs for cabernet sauvignon.
The 2014 Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard gives both old world and new world expressions. This wine is full-bodied, rich, and elegant. Dark red fruit. Beautifully balanced. The vintage is 92% cabernet sauvignon and 8% cabernet franc. I recommend a healthy decant before enjoying.
If in Dallas right now, I recommend sitting with this one next to a fireplace. — 3 years ago
Another fine recommendation from David Waddington at Siegels on Greenville in Dallas. This was our “it’s 5 O’clock somewhere” first glass. Lovely soft golden color, crisp apples, ripe pear, lovely floral nose, silky smooth mouth feel, with a bit o grip on the finish to keep it interesting with appropriate sophistication. Works great with sharp cheeses and salty crisps! Can’t wait to try it with grilled salmon. — 7 years ago
This was a really excellent Cabernet choice at a reasonable price in a restaurant. It’s about 80% Cab Sauv and 20% Cab Franc. A really nice blend that has the cassis and fresh raspberry flavors of Sauv with some raisin and bramble from the Franc, or anyway that’s the mix of flavors it brings. The tannins are perfectly integrated and this was a good accompaniment to the array of small dishes we got at this relatively new East Dallas restaurant. The rest of their wine list looks good too. — 8 years ago

Lovely light melon notes, with balancing lemon pith. This is a slightly richer white grape than the other neighborhood white (Arneis), with no trailing bitter notes, but still not “tropical” in my book. It’s just good stuff, minimal oak, easy-drinking. Eataly Dallas — 5 years ago

Even nicer only paying $125.00,This stuff was absolutely amazing. Like, a baby SQN, and not near the price. Certified organic, and owned by two Dallas natives!
A blend of 2 great vineyards: Paderewksi (which is used in some of the Saxum wines), and Catapult.
