96 Points From Wine Advocate

The pure Cinsault 2021 Miles was dedicated to Miles Davis and produced with grapes from an old vineyard in the zone of Guarilihue in Itata. In Parra's opinion, it's the most complete and balanced of the ones he vinifies, a vineyard on very decomposed granite soils that are very rocky with a little iron and sandy clay texture. It fermented in concrete with 100% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in an oak vat for 11 months. It has 13% alcohol and feels a little closed and austere, subtle but with a wider palate with fine-grained minerality, harmonious and with symmetry, with chalky tannins.

----------------------------

The 2021 Pedro Parra "Miles" Cinsault from the Itata Valley in Chile is an intriguing red wine that showcases the unique terroir of one of Chile’s oldest wine regions. Pedro Parra, a renowned soil expert and winemaker, is known for his dedication to producing wines that are authentic expressions of their origin. His "Miles" Cinsault is a reflection of the ancient vines and granitic soils that characterize the Itata Valley.

 

The Itata Valley is known for its ancient, dry-farmed vineyards, often planted with old vines that produce concentrated, flavorful grapes. The region’s granitic soils and cool climate contribute to the fresh acidity and mineral-driven character of the wines. Pedro Parra is a pioneer in recognizing and highlighting the unique terroir of the Itata Valley, and his "Miles" Cinsault is a testament to this approach. The winemaking is typically minimal intervention, with natural fermentation and little to no use of new oak, allowing the pure expression of the vineyard to shine.
