Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This ruby red colored wine is intense and fresh with red fruit notes and excellent flavor concentration. Tart cherries, pomegranates and raspberries are complemented by subtle sweet oak notes. The tannins are soft and the natural acid line lends tension and freshness to the palate. The finish shows good depth and length.

Try pairing with lightly seasoned red meats and game.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Vibrant and juicy, offering a core of dark cherry and plum tart flavors that lengthen out nicely, with raspberry ganache notes. Wild spice details linger on the pure-tasting finish, showing accents of cigar box and dried green herb that are supported by medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2021.
  • 90
    Oaky black-fruit aromas come with notes of maple and molasses. A dry, tannic palate is braced by lively acidity, while this tastes of tomato sauce, plum and oak. Chewy tannins are at the foundation of a big finish.

Oveja Negra Winery Image
Translated literally as “Black Sheep,” Oveja Negra wines intend to stand out from the flock. True representations of Chile’s Maule Valley, Oveja Negra wines sing strident of their roots, but are willing to challenge convention. The Maule Valley offers a significant diversity of soil types, allowing a wide range of grape varieties to grow. As part of the VIA Wines family, and with more than 2,500 acres of estate vineyards to work with, Winemaker Edgard Carter and his team have a constant source of inspiration for innovation and experimentation. The Reserva tier features unusual blends, such as a Sauvignon Blanc-Carmenere. Oveja Negra’s Single Vineyard wines are crafted to make each Maule Valley vineyard site shine bright, combining a fruit-driven structure with modern winemaking techniques.

Responsible for some of the most stunning old vine red wine on the planet, Carignan has an amazing capacity to survive dry, arid climates and still produce lovely, mouthwatering wine. In Spain it goes by the name of Mazuelo or Cariñena and while it may have originated there in the province of Aragón, its popularity lies elsewhere, particularly in Languedoc-Roussillon. Somm Secret—Historically Carignan did not enjoy the respect that it does today. In the mid 20th century, Carignan covered nearly 140,000 ha in Algeria, where it was made into low quality bulk and blending wine to supply mass-market demand.

Maule is the Central Valley’s most southern and coolest zone, reaching a southern latitude of 35°S, yet it is still warmer and drier than Bío-Bío to its south. The Maule Valley enjoys success with a unique set of grapes.

It lays claim to the local variety, Pais (synonymous with Tinta Pais, which is actually Tempranillo), which has dominated much of the region’s area under vine until the recent past. Now many growers, not confined by the tradition and regulations of the Old World, also successfully grow Cabernet Sauvignon.

While Maule’s total area under vine remains relatively static, its old Carignan vineyards are undergoing a great revival. The VIGNO (Vignadores del Carignan Vintners) group, an association in charge of promoting this long-forgotten variety, is getting fantastic results from the old vines in its dry-farmed coastal zones.

The Maule includes the subregions of Talca, San Clemente, San Javier, Parral, Linares and Cauquenes.
