Luis Guti\u00e9rrez, the critic in charge of rating the wines from Spain and South America, scored all of the wines presented at 90 points.<\/p>\n
Guti\u00e9rrez recognized the distinctive quality, consistency and character of Arboleda wines, mentioning the Aconcagua Costa appellation and its slate soils several times in his report.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026Arboleda wines are sourced from plots closer to the sea in search of mineral, austere wines, always bone dry and sometimes strict (\u2026) that are very apt for the table.\u201d.-Luis Guti\u00e9rrez, \u201cChile: Think Outside the Box,\u201d 31 Dec\u201915.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Luis Guti\u00e9rrez\u2019s main comments were:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
90 pts.<\/span><\/strong>
\nCabernet Sauvignon 2013\u00a0<\/span>
\nValle de Aconcagua<\/span>
\n<\/em>\u201cThis is juicy with good nerve and firm tannins within the austere but never aggressive style of Arboleda. A very pleasant Cabernet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n90 pts.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Carmenere\u00a02013\u00a0<\/span>
\nValle de Aconcagua<\/span>
\n<\/em>\u201cThe 2013 Carmenere feels fresh without being green; it\u2019s balsamic and spicy with some notes of tobacco leaf. (\u2026) This is a more elegant vintage with good acidity and some grainy tannins, soft and fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n90 pts.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Pinot Noir 2014\u00a0<\/span>
\nAconcagua Costa<\/span>
\n<\/em>\u201cVery tasty Pinot that might make you think of Burgundy more than Chile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n90 pts.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Sauvignon Blanc 2015\u00a0<\/span>
\nAconcagua Costa<\/span>
\n<\/em>\u201cIt has high acidity and a subdued minerality, and ends quite dry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n90 pts.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Chardonnay 2014\u00a0<\/span>
\nAconcagua Costa<\/span>
\n<\/em>\u201cThe nose has some aromas of nuts, hay and straw over a core of white fruit. (\u2026) This is a very good Chardonnay for food.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
