What to Expect
Cabenet Sauvignon: Originally of French origins, this versatile grape produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.
Winemakers Notes
With a great nose of currant confiture and cocoa powder, this full-scale Cabernet sports dark fig, currant and blackberry fruit, layered with loam, cedar, tobacco, mineral and coffee. Long and authoritative finish sails on, thanks to rather regal tannins.
VINTAGE NOTES
The 2003 vintage was long and warm, but had cool nights, allowing for ideal ripening. Winemaker Enrique Tirado added 5 percent Cabernet Franc and aged the wine in French oak barrels (60 percent new) for 14 months.

Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2006 - #4! With a great nose of currant confiture and cocao powder, this full-scale Cabernet sports dark fig, currant, and blackberry fruit, layered with loam, cedar, tobacco, mineral and coffee. Lond and authoritative finish sails on, thanks to rather regal tannins. Best from 2007 through 2016. -Wine Spectator Advance

Fine Wines
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon has a spicy perfume of toasty oak, black currants, and blackberry liqueur. It has lots of extraction in its layered, structured personality and should evolve for another 6-8 years. Robert Parker. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Maipo in Chile. 2003 Concha y Toro Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon Puente Alto Vineyard 750ml
