Tasting Note

Of a beautiful ruby red color with violet highlights, the 2017 vintage of Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve captivates with aromas reminiscent of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries. Further back some nice notes of cocoa and clove appear, culminating with a slight oral hint that reminds of violets. Aligned with what is perceived on the nose, the palate offers cherries, raspberries and cassis flavors, plus the sweet notes of cocoa and clove. Of a wide entrance, it is a generous wine, with good tension and juiciness that provide freshness, framed by mature tannins that marvelously surround the mouth, along with a long and very pleasant persistence

Product Notes

Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve is a premium Chilean wine that honors the winery's founder, Don Maximiano Errazuriz. Produced in San Antonio Valley, this wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, characterized by its dark ruby color and intense aromas of ripe black fruits, spices, and tobacco. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a silky texture, leading to a long, elegant finish. It is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, which gives it complexity, structure, and hints of vanilla and mocha. This wine is perfect for pairing with red meats, game, and strong cheeses.
