Ladies, gentlemen, dear Operatives. We haven’t been this impressed since we saw the Tesla roadster somersaulting over cars last week!

Unlike the roadster, you can get this legendary wine NOW. We featured this double 98 point… wait… Jeb dropped a fresh 98 of his own?!

Make that a TRIPLE 98 POINT ICON AT MORE THAN HALF OFF!

We saw it briefly last year and inventory drained to zero fast. You begged for another allocation after the lightning-fast sellout 2022 ⚡ and we delivered. And then this past year, when your lockers shipped…you asked for more of the 2021 and we were like sorry Ops, there is no more.

Until just yesterday morning, an offer from another supplier called and we were again… like wait WHAT?? You have more. DONE DEAL!! No hesitation!

And it gets better, because today we have it for a lower cost than before; and we are paying that savings forward. Our Ops are gonna be so happy! 🙌

Decanter calls it “A New World Grand Cru.”

If you know the wine, you’re just as excited. Always awarded in the 95-100 range by everyone. James Suckling calls them “one of the greatest wine producers in Chile, if not the world.” It usually lands on multiple critics’ Top 100 lists (this vintage is already in James Suckling’s current Top 10 Wines of Chile and has in a past vintage been named the ‘Wine of the Decade.’)

In the mid-90s, hot off the success of Opus One, the next generation of Mouton-Rothschild began to search for their next project in the new world. They zeroed in on the Maipo Valley’s highest terraces, Puente Alto, which Wine Advocate praises for its “luxury Cabernet Sauvignon.” Baroness Philippine de Rothschild foresaw what Decanter now calls “a New World Grand Cru.”

Teaming up with Chile’s equally reputable Concha y Toro, just as they did with Robert Mondavi in Napa back in the day, Almaviva was born. She deployed elite winemakers from Bordeaux: first Patrick Léon of Mouton, succeeded by current winemaker Michel Friou, a Château Margaux alum. The result, one of Chile’s most elite reds. As Opus One is pure Napa, the team of Almaviva crafts a wine uniquely fresh and vibrant that showcases the best of high-altitude Andean fruit – yet it’s a fraction of its sibling’s price tag.

With close to a year since we last offered it, we opened a bottle and it is still as SEDUCTIVE as ever!

98 Points – Tim Atkin MW “Michel Friou compares the brilliant 2021 Almaviva to the 2018, and I think he’s right in terms of the quality and complexity of the Cabernet Sauvignon that sits at this wine’s core… A wine that’s proudly Chilean, it’s a pan-regional cuvée that partners Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot from Puente Alto with 22% Carmenère Peumo. Cassis, mulberry and Mediterranean herb avours of fennel and lavender… lots of texture and weight, bright acidity and minerality, and a precise, focused fi nish. An impressive wine from one of the very best recent Chilean vintages.”

98 Points – James Suckling “A fresh and discreet Almaviva with subtle pencil shavings and cigar box to the cassis and hints of chili chocolate and peppermint. Nuanced and subtle on the nose. This is medium-bodied and subtle on the palate with silky tannins in the seamless finish. Very long. 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Drinkable now, but it will take its time to deliver complexity.”

98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck “The 2021 Almaviva is in a great spot from a vintage that saw all kinds of ups and downs, starting out dry and warm in spring with a surprise January rain. Not as dense as the 2022, it’s notably finessed and elegant, the grapes able to ripen slowly and develop supple tannins. A spicy, floral nose of raspberry, violet, and black licorice coat the medium-bodied palate of rounded structure and persistent acidity. As always, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates, blended this time with 22% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, aged 20 months in new French oak. Drinking well now, it should continue to do so through 2040.”

97 Points – Decanter “Crafted by Michel Friou from a legendary vineyard in Puente Alto, this is a precise red blend that balances opulence with elegance. The nose delivers blackcurrant, cherry, redcurrant and liquorice aromas with hints of violets, eucalyptus, spice, and pencil shavings. Fleshy, with a juicy, energetic core and polished tannins that promise ageing potential. A classy, harmonious wine. A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Carmenère, with dashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it was aged for 20 months in new French barrels. Drink 2024-2040.”
