Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2007 Don Melchor (98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc) was sourced from the Puente Alto Vineyard in Maipo at over 2100 feet of elevation. The wine was aged for 15 months in 78% new French oak. It sports an incipiently complex bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, exotic spices, incense, violets, and black currant, and blackberry. Structured and styled much like a classified growth Medoc, it has the balance to evolve for at least 6-8 years. Patience will be required because this tightly wound effort has much more to reveal. It should be most memorable when it attains its peak.

• James Suckling: Still a touch tight, but dense, focused and layered, with well-integrated structure underneath loam, blackberry, espresso, tobacco and sage notes. The long finish has nice drive, with the loam edge stretching out. This has the poise and balance for cellaring.

Producer Information

Don Melchor is a Chilean premium wine brand composed of the singular eponymous Cabernet Sauvignon. It is owned by Concha y Toro, one of the largest wine producers in South America. The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced entirely from a 127 hectare (315 acre) vineyard in the Puente Alto DO. Located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, here an altitude of 2100 feet (640 meters) above sea level creates ideal terroir for viticulture. The vineyard was first planted in 1890 with pre-phylloxera Bordeaux rootstock and all the vines growing today are massal selections of those original plants. The inaugural vintage was Don Melchor was in 1987 and has since become consistently critically lauded. The 1988 vintage was the first Chilean wine to be included on Wine Spectator’s annual Top 100 Wines list and has since appeared again every few vintages – including several times in the Top 10. Don Melchor is named after Melchor de Concha y Toro, a Chilean businessman who brought Bordeaux varieties to Chile and planted them in the Maipo river valley in the 1880s. He also founded the Concha y Toro winery.
