Viña Vik Winery Description

Winemaker Notes

After a 24-month barrel aging, the wine was bottled.This vintage departs from its predecessors by blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc exclusively.The maturity of the Cabernet Franc vines, apparent in the fruit’s new-found authority, delightful minerality and acidity, allowed for more prominence in the blend accounting for almost a quarter of the assemblage. Cabernet Sauvignon, at 76% of the blend, provides the wine’s long and dynamic structure and the nearly infinite finish.This vintage is precise, subtle, and elegant, delivering a story, whose chapters are visible in pours and pages turned in each sip.The story shares passionately the virtues of this terroir, the characteristics of the vintage as well as the entire team’s endeavors for quality and respect for nature.

Blend: 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Cabernet Franc

Critical Acclaim

JS 99
James Suckling
This is a fabulous wine with dark berries, dark chocolate and freshly cracked walnuts. Medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and a linear and compact palate with incredible depth and subtlety. 76 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 24 per cent cabernet franc. Release in 2021. Drink in 2023.

Wine Enthusiast
Light notes of almond and prune blend with hints of chocolate on the nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. It's a well-balanced red that has a silky texture supporting dried fruit, chocolate and espresso flavors with hints of peppercorn. Firm, supple tannins and vibrant acidity support the palate leading to a long finish.
WS 92
Wine Spectator
Powerfully focused and direct, with plenty of dried savory herbal accents to the red berry and cherry compote flavors, showing underbrush accents on the fresh, mineral-filled finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
