Wine Reviews

A really round and fleshy malbec here with blueberry compote, some geraniums and blue flowers. Supple and medium-bodied on the palate with smooth tannins and a fluffy, blueberry-oriented finish. Drink now.

The 2020 Constanza Single Vineyard Malbec is a serious varietal from an old vineyard in Maule. It has good ripeness, reflecting a warm and dry year, 14.2% alcohol and a round and full-bodied palate with elegant tannins. On the finish, the varietal flavors are intermixed with spices and toast from the 600-liter barrels, where the wine matured for 18 months. This is serious, powerful and faithful to the variety, place and vintage

The palate is medium to full-bodied, with dusty tannins and a dry, serious mouthfeel.

This rendition is on the mark. A saturated black color and jammy aromas of blackberry, minerals, licorice root and raisin lead to a fleshy palate that’s a touch loose in structure, with tannic backing. Toasty oak, herbal blackberry and gamy flavors are complex, while ripe berry and oak flavors offset a minty green note on the finish.

This is a juicy red with blackberries, wet earth and a hint of iron. Medium body. Flavorful finish.
