2021 | Almaviva | Maipo Valley | Chile

A first-growth-caliber Chilean icon — the Rothschild–Concha y Toro Cabernet blend, 98 points.

Almaviva is Chile's most celebrated wine, a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild (Mouton) and Concha y Toro in the Puente Alto zone of Maipo. A Cabernet Sauvignon-led Bordeaux blend (with Carmenère, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot), it fuses French finesse with Chilean power — a first-growth-caliber icon that earned 98 points from James Suckling.
