Tasting notes
Cropped from a warmer year, the 2020 Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve kept the contained alcohol to 13.5% through an early harvest. The blend was 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 9% Carmenere and 4% Petit Verdot, one of the lowest amount of Cabernet in years, trying to polish the tannins with more Malbec. The truth is that they managed nicely; the wine is a little more austere, but there's no rusticity or dryness. This wine changed and they lowered the new oak to 60%, and 10% of the volume matured in foudre. 12,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.
