The 2013 vintage of the stellar Coyam from the Emiliana estate in Chile does its previous incarnations justice, already causing quite a stir in both Virgin HQ and the Press alike. This wine is a fine pedigree, expertly blending down to the finest drop 48% Syrah, 24% Carmenere, 11% Merlot, 10% Cab Sauv, 3% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot to create a smooth, deeply concentrated red wine, harnessing the individual character of each gape variety. Simply the bees knees with Sunday roasts. The most important thing to me is to express the natural character of each grape without intervening with the natural cycles of the vineyard. Being organic is not a marketing tag, it's the best way to make better wine!

They should be considered in context. Gifted growers often make excellent wine in lesser vintages, just as, in outstanding years, mediocrity can prove a stronger force even than Mother Nature.

In the enjoyment of wine, there is a place for everything, and a chart such as the one below is merely a start to putting everything in its place.
