2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
From the quiet, sun-warmed vineyards of Chile’s Maipo Valley, Lynfred Winery’s 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon steps forward with the sort of self-assured elegance that only mountain-born fruit can muster. Sourced from Huelquén and shaped by the region’s signature recipe—pure Andes meltwater, long sunny days, crisp evenings, and a reliable whisper of valley breeze—the wine is built on an expressive blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Tempranillo, and 5% Carménère. Its deep ruby hue hints at the richness to come, while aromas of cassis, blackberry, rose petal, fresh-cracked pepper, and savory herbs set the stage. On the palate, it broadens with polished confidence: plum and black currant meet vanilla, sweet baking spices, and dried herbs, carried by a full body and ripened tannins that glide into a smooth, elegant finish. Aged 16 months in French oak, it captures Maipo’s soul with both structure and grace. On the table, it’s a natural with grilled ribeye, prime rib, roasted pork chops, lamb, and generous boards of charcuterie. Aged Cheddar, Gruyère, and Gouda, in particular, cozy up beautifully to its rich, savory charm—proving once again that Lynfred’s commitment to craftsmanship can make even the boldest Cabernet feel effortlessly refined. This wine will be available to the public on March 1, 2026. $27.
