To all Artisans,

This is like a Flowers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay for under $20.

That's a bold claim—and not an outlandish one.

High up in the Andes on the Chilean side, you have the Limari Valley, calcareous soils, cool climate, and the world's best-kept-secret in Chardonnay.

This is from the Talinay single-vineyard, and saw 50% fermentation in French oak.

The alcohol level is a 'perfect' and cool 13.5%. The texture is pure lemon-curd-laden-SILK.

Everything about this wine would indicate it should cost 2-3 times its price, but it doesn't, so take advantage as we did.

We're down to 10 cases prompting this last call. You'll wish you didn't get "just one" case so load up now and be set for the rest of the year!

Cheers,
—James Tran
2020 Miguel Torres Cordillera de los Andes Chardonnay
Limari Valley, Chile

94 Points - Vinous:
The 2020 Chardonnay Cordillera de los Andes from the Talinay vineyard in Limari was 50% aged in French barrels. Pale yellow in color. The nose offers notes of pineapple and apple, hints of acacia, oak, hazelnuts and whiffs of praline and iodine. In the mouth, this presents good fat and a smooth, slightly creamy flow with heightened freshness and a little salinity. A long-lasting wine.

92 Points - James Suckling:
A bright nose, showing green apple, green pineapple, star fruit, fine lees and limey, chalky notes. A taut yet smoothly rendered chardonnay with a medium body and fresh, natural acidity. Well made.

92 Points - Anthony Dias Blue
“Lush and generous with fruit-foward style, rich minerality, silky texture, deep, fresh and long."
