Lot #55 Sauzal Vineyard Carignan Field Blend 2016

9.1

This is the Lot #75. Should go really well with pasta con broccoli rabe and garlic. Vigorous nose has pungent berry fruit and iodiney minerality. Rustic and fruity and zingy. Nice depth and acids. Tannins aren’t the softest but are under control. — 6 months ago

Better than my first bottle last June.
Parker 95 Wine Maker notes,

Derek Mossman began Garage Wine Company at a time when there were relatively few smaller, family owned wineries in Chile. He not only started his venture to produce hand made wines on a human scale, but also to buy fruit from and support farmers with great quality fruit throughout the country. Along the way, he also banded together a group of like minded wineries to create MOVI, a platform to promote smaller production wineries in Chile.

Tantalizing aromas of blueberries, violets, orange peel, raspberry leaf and aniseed with a touch of aromatic herbs that provide freshness. The palate is electric, with pulsing acidity, ultra-fine tannins and very good length. Both rustic and elegant, wild and subtle, it has precision, elegance, balance and life. Shows no alcohol nor wood. A fresh, Mediterranean blend from a vineyard that was forgotten, revived, regenerated and today shows what the Maule is capable of. — 3 years ago
