A more full-throttle style with plum, coffee, hints of wood and spices. Full body, juicy and rich. Very long maturation in 100% new wood. 24 months. 85% cabernet sauvignon and 15% syrah. Drink or hold

The 2010 Taita was cropped from a healthy and dry year that allowed them to ripen the tannins properly. It's a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah that aged in brand new French oak barrels for 24 months. In 2010 they reduced the amount of new oak, which was 100% before but is now some 80%. These vines are basically dry-farmed. I found more freshness and more polished tannins in this 2010, a slight change in style, still powerful and ripe. 5,000 bottles produced.

This is the third production of this wine with full body, lots of oak and silky, caressing tannins. Needs more time in the bottle, but has loads of intensity and richness. A big and rich style. 90% cabernet sauvignon and the rest carmenere or syrah. Aged two years in new French barrels and four years in bottle before release. Made from grapes grown in the coastal section of the Colchagua Valley.
