Lot 95 Sauzal Vineyard Cariñena Blend 2020

Great blend! The C and the M give it a dark broodiness and the Grenache gives it pep! — 17 days ago

Chilena Maule Valley Re Blend

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 — 10 years ago

The Ploughmen Sauzal Vineyard Carignan Field-blend 2016

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.

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. — 8 years ago

Vigno Old Vines Dry-Farmed Carignan 2013

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. — 10 years ago

Lot #55 Sauzal Vineyard Carignan Field Blend 2014

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. — 6 years ago

Tasted through the entire line up at Derek’s house in April 2018. After, we all took a couple of bottles to dinner, got up the next morning & drove 2 1/2 hours to this vineyard to harvest. It was a good 24 hours. Interesting farming in the vineyard that I’ve not see anywhere else in the many regions I’ve traveled.
