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. — 4 years ago

A little funk goes a long way in this país. Closest thing I've had to Lopez Heredia, just short of the real thing. Of interest @Chris MacLean — 8 years ago

9.0

Rustic in a very good way. Nose has crunchy red berries, juniper, stony gravel, and a teeny bit of leather. Forceful flavors buoyed by forceful acids, pure, zingy, cherry fruit and a chalky minerality. Some relatively soft tannin. Not an erudite, pinky-extended sipper, but a great wine for pasta night. — 4 years ago

Tour de force. Nose took a while to express, but terrific fruit and from the first sip the wine is georgous. Big Round full attack for what is a medium bodied wine without noticeable oak nor alcohol. Brilliant wine from unsurprisingly Sauzal. — 9 years ago

Bright red berry with summer sausage, fresh leafy herbs, earth, and tire rubber. Light body, firm(ish) tannin, and fresh med+ acid. Rustic and unpolished, but totally charming. — 6 years ago
