2014 San Pedro Grandes Vinos Cabo de Hornos Cabernet Sauvignon
A very pretty and refined wine with sweet tobacco and ripe currant. Hits of stones. Medium to full body, fine tannins. Lovely finish. Delicious. Drink or hold. James Suckling, 2017.
This is very balanced, extremely young and fruit-driven. This has the Cachapoal brightness and light, still somehow covered by the baby fat that needs to be rendered by time in bottle. I should taste 20 years of wines like this to understand where they are coming from and where they will go.
Thanks to the San Pedro team, I have understood this wine forever Luis Gutierrez , 2017
The instinct to discover new territories is a natural human condition, though navigating towards the uninhabited ends of the earth requires special courage and tenacity.
Especially so in the 17th century, when the audacity and bravery of a group of Dutch navigators led to the discovery of Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of the Americas, and one of the most imposing places on earth, with powerful waters and adverse weather conditions.
This Cabernet Sauvignon was named in admiration of those brave explorers character, and to mark our respect for the fierce conditions of the continents south.
Cabo de Hornos, a pure Cabernet Sauvignon of great character from the volcanic soils of the Andean foothills of the Cachapoal Valley, pays tribute to these navigators through 17th-century cartographic design cues on the label.
