This Stellenbosch Cabernet blend gets its name from being 393 metres above sea level. Deep Ruby in colour. Aromas of coal dust, liquorice, Tomato Bush, Capsicum and stalky green Notes. On the palate initial impressions were lacking in fruit. More austere than expected. Certainly very different to most Napa Valley Cabernets that I’ve had. Medium bodied. I bought this wine in 2012 at the cellar door and it was quite the trek to drive to de Trafford over many dirt roads. One of the 1001 wines. — 24 days ago

This is so good and a great value. I’d never heard of the Itata valley and tried this when it was in the NYT Wine School. So delicious and such a change of pace from what I’ve been drinking. Vivid red fruit, strawberry, candied cherry, some milk chocolate and spice on the nose, and a very mild vegetal note; on the palate there is a ton of fruit balanced with good acid, very light body, some pepper and a long finish of crushed red cherries. Reminds me of good Beaujolais. — 22 days ago

Cloudy onion skin color. Basque cider, sage, thyme, Castelvetrano olive, gardenia, onion jam, dried orange peel. Subtle, easygoing tannins, medium-plus acidity. A good low-key natty orange wine for everyday drinking. (2019 vintage) — 21 days ago
