95 POINTS FROM DECANTER MAGAZINE SAYING:
“Enticing flowery, herbaceous aromas envelop the plump red and black fruit that penetrate the taut, chalky tannins and moreish acidity. A stunning and memorable blend.”

94 POINTS FROM VINOUS SAYING:
“The 2019 Mezcla Tinta Transversal is a blend of 30% Cabernet Franc, 30% Malbec and 25% Syrah from Limarí with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo. It aged for 20 months in French oak barrels. Purple in hue. The complex aromatic profile features blackberry and fresh plum with hints of ash and sweet spice against a cigar box backdrop. Dry and broad in the mouth. The chalky feel stirs up the finely grained, polished tannins. A long-lasting, flavorful red.”
