Arboleda wines obtained 90+ points in the latest annual report on Chile by The Wine Advocate, the publication from renowned wine critic Robert Parker, once again recognizing the consistent quality in all Arboleda wines.

Luis Gutiérrez, the critic in charge of rating the wines from Spain and South America for Robert Parker, published his report entitled “Chile: Earth, Air, Fire and Water” on April 28, describing the positive changes in the quality of Chilean wine since 2010. Under the subtitle “Dynamics: Change is Here to Stay,” he emphasized the fast pace of improvement in wines he called “better than ever” and named Viña Arboleda as one of the wineries that are leading this trend.

2015 Arboleda Cabernet Sauvignon
D.O. Valle de Aconcagua

“It felt a little closed and shy, with faint balsamic aromas and a core of blackberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and has very good freshness, quite varietal even if it’s not particularly complex.”

D.O. Valle de Aconcagua
