Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva de Familia has aromas of ripe cherries in liqueur intermixed with more herbal ones and also some green peppercorns. The palate is medium-bodied with very good freshness and balance, and the classical flavors mixing fruit and aromatic herbs of a Maipo Cabernet. They reckon the 5% Cabernet Franc added to the blend provides extra elegance.

Wine Enthusiast
Herbal berry, cassis and mint aromas open this classic Maipo Cabernet. Racy acidity and firm tannins make for a structured mouthfeel, while plum, currant, spice and light herbal notes finish loamy.

One of Chile’s oldest wineries, Santa Carolina was established in 1875 by Luis Pereira, named after his wife, Carolina Iñguez. In 1889, the Reserva de Familia Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded a gold medal in “Exposition Universelle de Paris”, France, which made it the first Chilean wine to earn international recognition. The cellars in Santiago, Chile were declared a National Monument in 1973 to protect them from demolition due to city expansion. In 1974 the winery was bought by the Larain Family from Chile. In 2015, Santa Carolina celebrated it’s 140th anniversary and was awarded the “New World Winery of the Year” award by Wine Enthusiast magazine. Annual sales now exceed 25 million bottles, and Santa Carolina has a strong international presence with markets all over the world offering wines in all price ranges,
More than 20 million US dollars have been invested over 2014-2019 to ensure the highest quality in the production of their wines. These investments and continuous innovation provide consistent quality and numerous accolades across all wine ranges.
