Like the others, the 2018 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is what used to be the Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon and was produced with grapes from Maipo. In this cooler vintage, the wine was produced in a lighter style and has a touch of volatility and more freshness. It's medium-bodied and has fine-grained tannins, moderate varietal character and an approachable personality. 200,000 bottles produced. It was bottled after 10 months in barrel.

Black-cherry and cassis aromas are fruity and direct, while this feels perky, juicy and fresh, with moderate depth. Black-plum and berry-fruit flavors show a touch of oaky spice, while this Cabernet remains alert and bright on the finish.
