Ruby colored with garnet trim. The nose is intense, with red fruits such as cherries and plums, accompanied by cassis. The palate is intense, with a pleasant volume and acidity. It has characterful but elegant tannins that give it presence and vitality. A structured and balanced wine, a good representative of a Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon.
Los Vascos Description
Los Vascos wines blend Lafite tradition with the unique terroir of Chile to create elegant wines that bring exceptional to the everyday. The vision of Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite to expand their estate took them to South America in 1988, becoming the first French viticultural investment in modern Chile, oriented towards the production of fine wine using and adapting the viticultural experiences of Bordeaux. Los Vascos is located in Valley de Caneten (Colchagua), a closed valley in the central zone of Chile, approximately 25 miles from the sea. The valley provides a perfect microclimate for high quality viticulture, with Northern exposure to lands. Daily on-shore winds provide temperature changes between 68-77°F, for optimum maturation of the grapes. With 1,581 acres planted on the over 10,000 acre estate, it is one of the largest vineyards in the central Colchagua valley, at the foot of Mount Cañeten.

Spot-on balance, with a savory touch to the scented cassis, plums and spices. Juicy and chalky tannins lead the medium-bodied palate to a long, firm. restrained and polished finish. Drinkable now, but can hold for a few years.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2021 Cromas Cabernet Sauvignon is a solid, modern expression of Chilean Cabernet, leading with a red- and blue-fruited bouquet of dusty herbal aromas with woody tobacco accents. The palate is ripe, seamless and elegant, finishing with a sturdy backbone of focused, refined tannins.
