Very balanced, good fruit, but not overwhelming, good structure. Comparable, broadly, perhaps to a Cabernet.

Improved quite a bit over a period of half an hour. In my experience Chile offers many of the best values in Cabernet Sauvignon found anywhere.

6/29/2023 - Wine Diplomats Likes this wine: 90 points

A medium-sized but fairly common label in Chile, Santa Ema has been around since the early 20th century and was started by an Italian immigrant whose family still controls the winery. 100% Marselan. Aged 14 months in French oak barrels (35% new). The nose shows a lot of sweet baking spices, mocha mixed with some savory spice notes and ripe dark berry fruit. The palate leans more towards red fruit, is medium bodied and round with no hard edges. Nose reminds me more of a modern Cab blend while the color and texture remind me more of Grenache. Modern, but there’s good acidity.

Blackberry, cassis, pyrazines, espresso, and dark chocolate. Medium bodied with slightly coarse tannins.

Seems like the large production results in some underripe elements to the ferment which is evident in the coarse tannins and elevated pyrazines.

Served by the glass. From the Maipo valley to the world. Matured in French oak barrels for just under a year. Aromas of plums, espresso coffee or dark chocolate stand out. Overwhelmingly obvious. Palate is silky, even fleshy, with some delicacy and length when finished although presence of wood is inevitable.

Servido por copas. Procedente del valle del Maipo y madurado en barricas de roble francés por poco menos de un año. Aromáticamente destacan los aromas a ciruelas, café espresso o a chocolate negro. Abrumadoramente obvio. Al paladar es sedoso, carnoso incluso, con algo de delicadeza y longitud al finalizar aunque la presencia de la madera es inevitable.

Chilled in the refrigerator, you can drink it without great displeasure. (Meaning the wine has been chilled, not you - though that might work, too.)

So!....my wine merchant found ONE MORE bottle of this in his inventory....and the best yet.
On nose and palate: this 8 year old chard displayed a superb balance of apple, oak, citrus , roasted almonds, roasted corn, and creme brulee, held aloft by fresh, youthful acidity , displayed on a fine medium body.....must find a new vintage of this.

Bright, succulent dark fruit and peaches buffered by sage and wild herbs. Well sculpted and balanced, with excellent complexity, and a plump, textural density that is just fantastic. Juicy, dark fruit flavors turn savory on the long and enticing finish.

Febrero en Chile con vinos chilenos; 2/1/2023-2/28/2023: primera experiencia con esta cepa… en degustación ciega. nadie adivinó lo servido, pero una persona se acercó al adivinar un blend de CS "con algo mas fresco y frutal como quizás Garnacha"… lo que es la cepa, en realidad: un cruce moderno entre el CS y la Garnacha.

en cuanto al vino: es de color oscuro y opaco en la copa, con bastante cuerpo. en la nariz se destacan aromas de guindas negras con leves matices de especies y hierbas. en la boca se siente amplio y generoso; bastante fresco y jugoso con moderada acidez, aunque no particularmente complejo. moderadamente largo final.

es posible que sea un poco mejor de lo apreciado, ya que tuvo la mala suerte de estar en la misma mesa con un vino de alta gama, lo que obviamente causa que sufra en la comparación.

Tasting event sample.
Medium purple, fruit compote nose.
Candied cherry on entry with some reductive red fruit. Fine tannins through the mid, heat in the finish. Strong fruit showing throughout, comes across a bit sweet for me.

So...bottle #2 of this wine:
On nose and palate: all notes intact from bottle# 1 , last week .
With the absence of the banana bread and fig notes, as well as a sleeker acidity , and notes of chalk...giving it more of an Old World vibe...clearly a fresher bottle...my wine merchant has 6 bottles renaming...stay tuned.

A well made Chilean Chardonnay.
On nose: ripe apples and fresh banana bread.
On palate: both flavour notes present, in addition to present oak/ vanilla notes, figs, a ghost of ripe cantaloupe, hazlenuts....and happily a good backbone of fresh acidity and a finish of meyer lemon and a hint of barley sugar....clean , voluptuous medium bodied, and one THIRD the price of a Lewis Napa Valley 2013 chard tasted recently....this is not as complex , of course, but very good value , at 8 years of age in Vancouver , at $27.00 a bottle....great with Chicken breast and basmati rice and green beans tonight.

Wow, still suprisingly good. I last drank this in 2011. The cork was crumbly, but intact lower down. Wine had a good deep color, not much on the nose, but a rich, full, smooth feel in the mouth. Still has some tannins, some minerality, and still plenty of dark fruit

Well balanced, rich and powerful CS based blend with 20% Carmenere and 8% CF showing envious value. Aged for 14 months in new FR oak and 12 months in bottle. Deep ruby colour. Intense, complex and vegetal aroma of blackcurrant leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh pepper, cassis, blueberries, cumin, anise and tar hints. Medium+ body, concentrated and dense texture showing great balance and elegant structure, powdery mild tannins concludes with long dark fruit finish.

Plum, under riped bramble fruit, dried herbs, vanilla, and black cherry. Full bodied with old school Bordeaux litheness, but lacking in concentration. Oak buries the fruit a bit, but is still an enticing wine. Would be nice to have a second bottle to revisit in a year, but unclear whether there is an upside to this since it's my first and only bottle. Medium tannin with good length and mouth watering, fresh acidity.

89.

Dark ruby color. Black cherry and plum aromas with notes of green tobacco and coffee. Pallet notes dried versions of the above fruits with hints of chocolate, mint and toast on the long finish. Round tannins. Savory.
