Encierra 'Vineyard Reserve' 2007

  • Encierra 'Vineyard Reserve' 2007
  • Cabernet Sauvignon, Full Bodied, Dry, 15.30% alcohol, Cork, (Case of 12 x 75cl Bottles)
  • A wine that we honestly believe is worth £20 a bottle so much so that we ship about 10% of the production. I have included Derek Smedley’s tasting notes. Please note that he has given this wine a whopping 95 points. It’s Cabernet dominated (60%) with an excellent backbone of Syrah (35%) but has 3% Camenere and 2% Petit Verdot that gives the wine extra complexity. It can be drunk now but no hurry. They are basically surrounded by Ch Lafite Chilean property Los Vascos. We believe it’s almost as good as Almaviva (the partnership of Bordeaux first-growth Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Concha y Toro) which sells at £43 per bottle

  • Price inc. VAT: £155.88
    Bottle Price inc. VAT: £12.99


Critic Notes for this Wine

Derek Smedley

“There is a complex mix of rich black fruits showing on the nose, blackcurrant very prominent with damson and black cherry backing it. The fruit on the palate feels ripe ensuring richness and sweetness. The rounded tannins add to the fleshiness of the black fruit mix. Towards the back some strawberry and mulberry are in evidence giving some freshness but then dark chocolate lurks behind enriching the finish” Derek Smedley 95/100 points Drink 2009-2018
