Bendito Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Cabernet is made in many corners of the world, but today, South America is emerging as a hotspot for some of the best. “Winemakers in Argentina and Chile are developing new techniques to elevate their offering, producing Cabernet Sauvignons to rival the world’s finest,” writes Decanter.

Bendito Reserva Cabernet is a beautiful example, and comes to you from the hugely acclaimed Luis Felipe Edwards estate, which has been family-owned and operated since its founding in 1976. Their new Reserva is made by winemaker Nicolas Bizzarri with premium Cabernet grapes from Chile’s Rapel Valley, a region that’s renowned for the production of fine wines. Gorges, ravines and complex geography surround the sites where the first Bendito vines were planted, leading the vineyard team to believe it would be almost impossible to cultivate the vines. Time proved the opposite, transforming the result into more than a wine: a blessing (bendito in Spanish).

This robust Cabernet offers notes of ripe red fruits, black cherry and toasty spice, thanks to four months of barrel aging in French and American oak. It’s the perfect accompaniment for roasted red meats and pork ribs, and is especially delicious with grilled fare (think a juicy ribeye, lamb burgers and fresh vegetables).

An additional note about the dedicated team at Luis Felipe Edwards: They’ve earned a Chilean certificate of sustainability, were recently honored as the New World Producer of the Year at the Sommelier Wine Awards—and they also took home the Chilean Producer of the Year title at the AWC Vienna International Wine Challenge (the largest officially recognized wine competition in the world). That’s high praise, indeed.

“Chile is now earning genuine admiration for some of its premium Cabernets,” says Decanter, and you have a chance to be at the forefront. Order your share today.
