A close-to-even blend of cabernet and carmenere, with an increasing percentage of merlot and franc. Violet lift. Green olive spread. Chili, spearmint, bitter chocolate and dense, boysenberry confiture. Yet the feel, while full-weighted, is immensely savoury. The oak, an enticing framework, melding effortlessly with the density of the wine and modern, prescient style. This has a strong Bordeaux feel to it, with an extra degree of polish and richness. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Cabernet Bradisismo opens slowly in the glass. It's darkly alluring, with peppery rose and lavender complementing dried black cherries. Cool-toned and racy in feel, sleek red berry fruits and minerals collect toward the close. This finishes with tension, leaving a spicy sensation and a saturation of primary concentration as fine-grained tannins coat the palate. As of 2020, the Bradisismo has an addition of 10% Cabernet Franc in the blend. This is coming along beautifully.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère and Cabernet Franc are blended to create this iconic red that swirls in the glass with aromas of crushed blackberries, Marasca cherries in liquor, crushed red and blue flowers, cedar and mixed spices. Bold flavors pop on the palate but are restrained by an elegant mix of tannin, acidity and savory elements that do not want to let loose just yet. Drink 2025-2040.
