A Cinsault planted in sandy, quartz soils. On the nose, cherry and earth notes plus hints of pea and a touch of sulfur. Soft in texture, it has gentle tannins with a little chalk and a rich aftertaste. A flavorful wine. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, March 2020)

Albillo 100% from old vines. Intensely chalky, very citrusy on the nose, and a very strong mineral character. Well integrated. — 11 years ago

Juan Gil Jiménez first built his winery in 1916 in Jumilla, and passed it down to his future generations. From 100% Monastrell (or Mourvèdre in France) aromas of dark berry fruits and woody spice. On the palate blackberry and plum with earthy wood flavors and notes of cacao and cinnamon spice. Soft tannins, lingering ending with a light toasty character. Great value! Very nice! — 7 years ago

Afrutado. Fácil de beber sin excesivas complejidades. Quizá le falté un poco de botella, pero un buen vino en definitiva. Quizá se han subido un poco a la parra con el precio — 11 years ago

Only after googling this wine I -oddly- came to know that terroir authority, saxophone player and owner Pedro Parra got inspiration from jazz record label Blue Note for this eye-catching wine label. But that's only the tip of the iceberg! A juicy, extremely refreshing, light-bodied red from Carignan and Malbec a.o, a multi blend that is different every year. My grandfather, a renowned local-drunk traveled every season to Cauquenes (a coastal, dry-farmed spot south of Santiago) to buy a number of demijohns for his own consumption, and I suspect that that wine tasted more or less like this. It's funny how young and iconoclasts winemakers are bringing Chile back to its roots by looking at the future. If you ever come across this wine don't think twice and buy a good number in the spirit of savvy drinkers like my grandad. @WineTraining @Dusan Bradanovich — 9 years ago
