93 pts Decorchados 2025 The warm year in Colchagua and throughout the Central Valley is barely noticeable in a red wine that is pure fresh and juicy red fruit with fine and friendly tannins, and the sensation of freshness is present at all times, supported by that acidity of the cabernet franc that shines here. Maquis has a special calling with this variety (also with carmenere), but in recent years, with a special emphasis since 2018, this has translated into wines of great elegance, subtlety, and freshness. This is an excellent example.93 pts Tim Atkin MW 2025 This stylish Cabernet Franc is embellished by 3% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec and shows you what very good winemaking can achieve, even in a hot year. Matured in older barrels, it has impressive focus and freshness, a waft of graphite and basil, tangy black cherry, plum and redcurrant fruit and enveloping tannins.90 pts James Suckling March 2025 A good, structured cabernet franc with red bell peppers and a touch of herbs. Chewy on the palate, this has firm tannins and a generous coating of fruit. Solid length in the finish. Better in 2026.90 pts Wine Enthusiast Feb 2026 This Colchagua Cabernet Franc displays an attractive aromatic profile, opening with notes of cranberries. The firm palate delivers a balanced blend of red fruit, thyme, and other herbs, enhanced by a subtle hint of black pepper.
