Description
Bold, Edgy, and Unapologetically Intense Chilean Power
Break away from the stuffy, traditional conventions of the wine world with Unrated "Xtra" Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich, high-octane red wine engineered for those who crave maximum flavor extraction without the snobbery. Crafted under the rebellious guidance of premium winemaker Isabel Mitarakis and backed by the legendary winemaking expertise of Concha y Toro, this striking bottle functions as the "black sheep" of the lineup. Swapping a corporate button-down for a leather jacket, Unrated delivers a bold, concentrated, and deep tasting experience designed to challenge the status quo.
The extraordinary depth of Unrated stems from a multi-valley sourcing strategy that pulls prime fruit from Chile’s most respected central zone terroirs—spanning the Maipo, Maule, and Cachapoal valleys. Rather than relying on a single vineyard, Mitarakis blends the distinct microclimates of these regions to maximize complexity. Following a full malolactic fermentation to soften the edges, the wine builds its structured framework through 12 months of aging in French oak barrels. By focusing heavily on third- and fourth-use cooperage, the winemaking team ensures that the intense, wild fruit notes take center stage rather than being masked by heavy, aggressive wood styles.
Taste Profile & Pairings
-
The Profile: An exceptionally deep, opaque purple-ruby in the glass with thick, heavy-staining legs. It commands a muscular full body, a rich and voluptuous mouthfeel, and a massive framework of well-integrated, velvety-sweet tannins.
-
Flavor Highlights: An explosive, racy nose of intense dark red berries, ripe black plums, and cassis opens immediately, unfolding into a concentrated palate layered with sweet blackberry jam, rich dark chocolate, roasted mocha beans, and an underlying hint of savory herbs.
-
The Finish: Bold, persistent, and remarkably long, resolving with an enjoyable oak-driven warmth, sweet tannins, and a lingering touch of baking spice.
-
Perfect Food Pairings: This heavily extracted, structured red wine demands equally robust food partners. It cuts effortlessly through a heavily seasoned grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised beef short ribs, roasted leg of lamb with rosemary, or a late-night plate of deeply aged cheddar and Manchego cheeses.
-
Serving Suggestion: Because of its concentrated fruit intensity and 14.5% ABV structure, giving this bold Chilean Cabernet a quick 20-to-30-minute decant before pouring will beautifully unlock its complex cocoa, mocha, and sweet wood aromatics.
