Dark cassis, ripe, very ruby, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, plum, sticky tannins, tarry & granite notes, fresh violets, great acidity and well polished near candied finish.

Had lot 47. Very high in acid. Takes a while to get into but very interesting. Seems to get better with each glass. Would gladly order again. — 8 years ago

@Delectable this is Lot # 76. Opened 30 minutes prior to drinking. Amazing aromas. Lavender, black cherry, and vanilla aromas. I cannot believe how aromatic this wine is at this price point. Very good on the palate too! Plum, lilac, earthy, and subtle vanilla flavors. Lot #76. Carignan, garnacha, and mataro field blend. Highly recommend at $25. — 4 years ago

This is not the Lot. It’s the Truquilemu Carginan. I’ve asked Delectable to add it.

On the nose; deeper & dark than the Bagual. Dark cassis, blueberries, black raspberries, plum, violets, dark moist soils, dry top soil, red flowers with violets.

The fruits are creamy. The body full and ripe tannins are round & sticky. blueberries, black raspberries, plum, violets, dark moist soils, dry top soil, red flowers with violets. Fabulous acidy and rich polished finish.

Photos of; The Truquilemu Vineyard and a couple of crazy field workers picking grapes.

Gorgeous nose of; lightly spiced,foral; ripe candied fruits. Bright floral bouquets of red flowers and violets with just a touch of herbaceousiness.

The body is full. Tannins are thick & meaty. Ripe light and dark red fruits. Brilliant acidity. Round polished finish.

More photos of two foolish field working picking at a much slower pace than the rest of the team and the Truquilemu Vineyard we picked Sunday. — 6 years ago
