G Vintage Not Specified
Antonio Bravo is one of South America's leading exponents of organic and biodynamic wines. The Tasting Panel met up with Bravo to savor the winery's icon reds. This wine is dense with deep, black fruit. "G" is a big boy, with savory truffle and spice that lingers.
Lana Bortolot - The Tasting Panel
As rich as velvet, with a deep complex aroma and taste and a finish that lives on. Pure wines the way nature intended them to be.

…Produced from biodynamically farmed grapes from the winery’s Los Robles estate. Purple-colored, it has an alluring nose of pain grillé, scorched earth, spice box, black currant, blackberry, and blueberry. This leads to a medium- to full-bodied wine with layers of savory flavor, succulent fruit… Excellent concentration, depth, and balance. 92 Points

Impressively rich, witih loads of blueberry compote, braised fig, graphite and roasted earth notes waiting to emerge fully from behind the wall of dark, spice-laden toast. There's great buried acidity and a long, grip-filled finish. Loaded with character, this is built for the cellar. 93 Points.

"G" is Chile's only certified biodynamic wine, now in its second vintage. Alvaro Espinoza makes this Syrah blend from Emiliana's estate vineyard in eastern Colchagua, At three years fo age, this is still extremeley youthful, with wild black fruit, sweet spice and chocolately tannins. 92 Points.

Editors’ Choice.
All signs point in one direction: the top of the heap. This is one great Chilean red blend! With Syrah, Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the mix, Gê sets a new benchmark for multi-grape blends from Chile. This wine is loaded with berry, cassis and black plum flavors, but it’s textured, balanced and alluring. There’s a bit of creaminess on the finish to offset any tannic bite that’s still holding on, but as a whole it’s delicious, generous and ready to go.

Deep ruby. Seductively perfumed aromas of dark cherry, black currant, licorice and mocha. Fleshy dark berry flavors are framed by velvety tannins and pick up zestier red fruit character witih air. The tannins build on the finish, which is impressively sweet and persistent. I'd stash this infant away for at least another five years. The Demeter-certified wine was made from Biodynamically grown grapes, with consultation of Alvaro Espinoza. 91 Points.

Outstanding. This is a really big, full-bodied wine…perfectly balanced and nicely structured with a long and surprisingly soft finish.

has a superb perfume of pepper, black currants, blackberry, and blueberry. The wine makes a youthful impression on the palate and is currently quite backward and firm. However, all the components for future greatness are there for those who have the patience to age the wine for 10+ years. 92+

This certified biodynamic, Syrah-based blend is all about power, with exotic spice, ripe mulberry notes and firm tannin. One of the "Year's Best Chilean Reds"
Wine & Spirits - June, 2007
A blend of Syrah, Cabernet, Merlot and Carménère, this is all about power, from the strong, exotic scent of Indian spices to the oak, the ripe mulberry notes and the tannins, firm and imposing as marble columns. With time in the bottle to come together, it should develop beautifully; all of the components are in order. Made by winemaker Alvaro Espinoza, this is the only certified biodynamic wine from Chile.

Emiliana G was reviewed for the June 2007 issue of Restaurant Wine and earned their highest rating of 5 stars - "Exceptional" and "Very highly recommended." *****
Ronn Weigand Restaurant Wine # 117 - June, 2007
Wow! Very supple in texture and complex in flavor, this is a full bodied, well balanced wine, with a very long finish, tasting of ripe fruit (boysenberry, cherry, toast, black licorice), with overtones of new oak, cedar, and tobacco. One of the best Chilean reds we've ever tasted. * * * * (Exceptional)
Ronn Weigand Restaurant Wine # 117 - June, 2007
"A very complex wine from young vines... It has an intense ruby color with violet reflections. Nose of blackberries, raspberries and currants with a hint of toasted oak, cigar box and eucalyptus. Intense fruity palate with elegant tannins and a long finish."
Manos Angelakis - LuxuryWeb.com
"Big, powerful wine, with Valrhona chocolate, loam, tar, black currant, fig and olive paste flavors supported by broad-shouldered tannins. It’s not just big though—there’s plenty of definition too, with a long, authoritative finish. Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carménère. Debut release for this biodynamic wine, from winemaker Álvaro Espinoza. Drink now through 2010."
Wine Spectator Insider - March, 2007
"Primarily Syrah blended with equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chile's signature red variety Carménère, this is an intense, classy red with character. Dark fruit and licorice aromas are layered with mineral notes and supple tannins. Certified biodynamic, this deeply-colored, rich and complex wine drinks well now with decanting, but will improve for a decade or more."
