93 Points, #36 on "Top 100 Wines of 2024" - Wine Spectator
"Alluring notes of dried violet, olive and black cherry lead off in this elegantly textured version, with just a bit of sneaky concentration swelling midpalate around fresh acidity and notes of peppercorn and plum, finishing around well-integrated tannins and hints of apple wood. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2038. 20,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported." -AR, 5/31/24

"The 2021 Milla Cala is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Carménère, 7% Syrah, 5% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, sourced from Millahue in the Cachapoal Valley. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels toasted on the property, this dark purple wine reveals complex aromas of currant, blackberry, garrigue, boldo and ash, all set against an oaky backdrop. On the palate, it is dry and juicy, with reactive tannins and a faintly clingy mouthfeel leading to a rich and mouthwatering experience. This is a well-crafted Chilean red made in a cold vintage."
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"The nose of this wine made with 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Carménère and a splash of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc exhibits spices, blackberries and a hint of bell pepper. Aged in oak barrels for 18 months, it shows balanced wood spice, leafy notes and plums on the soft palate." -JV, 5/1/24
