What reviewers say
“Não tenho condições de avaliar este vinho de forma racional. Foi o primeiro vinho que tomei depois de toda pandemia, após ficar ano desempregado e sem dinheiro pra comprar algo. Lembro de chorar ao primeiro gole.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine shows the essence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fully fermented in stainless steel tanks, the emphasis is on keeping the vivid character derived from the vineyards. It is a style of Cabernet unoaked, fruity and balanced, perfect for use as wine by the glass. It is also structured to accompany entrees.
Cousiño-Macul Don Luis Cabernet Sauvignon is a Chilean red from Maipo Valley.
3,254 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 3,402 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 443 other reds from Chile, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Cousiño-Macul Don Luis Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Chile (444 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 3,254.
