Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2016 Amplus Cabernet Sauvignon was produced with fruit from six-year-old vines in Pirque, a cooler place that seems to have compensated for the warm growing season. The grapes fermented destemmed and crushed in stainless steel with selected yeasts, and the wine matured in used oak barrels for ten months. The mintiness is somewhat contained, and so is the ripeness, as the wine comes through as nicely balanced, with no excess. The palate reveals fine-grained tannins and tasty flavors.

• James Suckling: Cool and fresh. A sleek cabernet with some real elegance. The dry tannins carry the long finish beautifully.
