ARMADOR WINES BY ODFJELL VINEYARDS
"In the bygone days of the sail ships, wine provided a safe drink for long voyages. Dan Odfjell, a norwegian 'armador' (shipowner), perpetuates this legacy by making wines to sail from Chile across the seven seas."
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: CABERNET SAUVIGNON 90 PT. ROBERT PARKER
Ruby in color with an aura of violet. Following the characteristics of previous vintages, there are aromas of aniseed, vanilla, plums, figs, blueberries and the typical liquorice notes from Odfjell’s terroir. The distinctive facet is the palate; the 2005 vintage is a bigger, more concentrated, richer wine than previous years. The wine grows and evolves on the palate being both juicy and fresh. Fruit flavors and ripe tannins linger.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: MERLOT
When harvested at the right time, this cepage offers truly ripe and complex aromas of fig jam, plums and peaches. Upon agitation in the glass, notes of cassis, as well as more floral notes such as jasmine and cloves emerge. Finishing the nose, a touch of vanilla, chocolate and oak take us to another dimension. The rich and juicy attack on the palate softens the structure of this Merlot, with ripe tannins once again its foundation and key characteristic.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: CARMENERE
The amazing red purple color is alluring. The first impression on the nose is one of freshness, together with a rich, complex and pure expression of blueberries, black berries and cherries, followed by notes of flowers, quince, chocolate and vanilla. The wine quickly fills the mouth and is round, ripe, with velvety, rich tannins. The long finish is refreshing, highlighting the acidity of the black fruits.
ROOT 1 SAUVIGNON BLANC 2006
a Delicate and crisp wine with grapefruit , lime and floral notes. This Sauvignon Blanc is crafted exclusively from grapes grown on the original , ungrafted root systemes tended by their Master Winemakers. This gives the wine its pure rich fruit flavors and aromas.
