How often can you purchase a wine with the name Lafite-Rothschild on the bottle for under $10? Not often, unless you take a trip down to South America and visit their vineyards in Chile. It's here that we found the two sibling estates of Las Huertas and Los Vascos. One of the oldest vineyards in Chile, Los Vascos traces its roots to approximately 1750 as the original vineyard of Miguel Echenique. In the 1980's the vineyards were purchased by the Lafite-Rothschild family and both Las Huertas and Los Vascos quickly became two of the top selling wines from South America. Red fruits, pepper, cedar and tobacco on the nose with ultra-fine tannins and subtle berry and smoked bacon on the finish. Amazing value...It's a Lafite-Rothschild Cabernet for under $10 a bottle!
Cabernet Sauvignon is the classic grape of Los Vascos’ vineyard and is the variety on which the estate has built its reputation. The common feature of all the vintages is ripe fruit, fresh aromas, and a supple, full-bodied structure. This wine has a sparkling ruby red colour and a pleasantly fruity nose with aromas of black cherries, raspberries and plums, all with a hint of spice. This is a silky, flavourful wine, with a supple tannin structure. A great classic
"Rich, spicy aromas with a core of red plums, as well as a gently minty edge. The palate has round, succulent fruit flavors with a supple, fresh and juicy finish. Like the acidity here. Drink or hold." James Suckling, 91 Points
