Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva 2022

Escudo Rojo (meaning “Red Shield”) is a Chilean brand created by Baron Philippe de Rothschild.  Joaquín Hildago of Antonio Galloni's Vinous rated this wine 91 points.  “The 2022 Gran Reserva Escudo Rojo blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Maipo.  Garnet in color, it offers ripe fruit aromas along with balsamic, bay leaf and sweet briar notes.  Rich and bold, the palate delivers a soft, overwhelming mouthfeel-an honest wine.”  (July 2024).
