Description
'At first the wines made from this vineyard went into other Concha y Toro lines, but we began a new project back around 2007 that changed everything. The company decided it wanted a new line of wine to be managed by new winemakers with a fresh approach ... I set out to make a Cabernet, and I knew just where to start ... we each had a favorite site close to one of Chile's major rivers, which is where the name of the line came from - 'Riberas' means riverbanks' (Marcio Ramirez, Winemakers Journal, conchaytoro.com, July 1, 2014). Brimming with dark fruit and soft tannins, this friendly-priced Cab will pair well with burgers or black-bean burritos.

Tasting Notes
Complex and elegant, offering juicy red fruit and spice flavors, accented by some interesting pemmican notes. Sinewy midpalate, with graphite and white pepper accents. Anise and black olive hints enrich the finish. Drink now through 2017. Score - 91. (Kim Marcus, winespectator.com, May 31, 2014)
