Casa Lapostolle

Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Surprised how good this is. Nice red and blue fruit qualities with baking spices as backup singers.
Solid acid and tannin finish make this Chilean Cab a good choice for food pairing.

Curico Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Nice Chilean Cab. Blue/Black berry/currant aromas and flavors with nice hints of spices and mint. Tannins are present, but there is good balance. Austere and fresh tasting. Pleasant surprise. Thank You Ron B. — 3 years ago

Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Syrah 2012

Tons of sediment, so give this a decant. It was open right away and very tasty, but better on day 3. Inky with lots of dark blue fruit. Some seasoned oak on the nose. Still good tannic structure, but not grippy in any way. The acidity is still there, but toned down. Dark blue fruit transfers to the palate. Wish I had more. — 4 years ago

Cachapoal Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Rich, voluptuous blue and some black fruit / stemmy green notes and some tobacco / technically exemplary wine but—at this price point? 😐 — 4 years ago

Santa Rita

Estate Bottled Casa Real Alto Santa Rita Old Vines Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Extremely solid wine, could have sat in bottle many more years. No one guessed it was Chilean and by far the best Cabernet from Chile I have ever had. Big blue and red fruits, cigar wrapper, graphite, yum yum 😋 — 2 years ago

30+ minute decant. Purple and red color mix. Restrained nose of blackberries and bbq chicken. Nice blue and black fruit, but lacked depth. Great texture and extremely easy drinking. Paired nicely with pasta. I really enjoyed this for the price! — 4 years ago

Viñedos Errázuriz Ovalle

Panilonco Reserva Chief of Lions Colchagua Valley Carménère 2020

Color of pity, a bit berry and blue tone on the rim. Nose of ripe blackberry, raspberry, cherry jam, spice, carbonate, and medicinal strawberry. Nose is on par. Taste follows the nose with addition of ample acidity, a bit citrus zesty, and some bitterness. Aftertaste of some more oaky flavors. On par. — 2 years ago

So balanced. So pleasurable and drinkable. You will drink the whole bottle without even blinking (or thinking) Deep ruby color, pronounced aromas of blue and black fruit (blueberries, grapes, black cherries and cassis) herbal (mint, sage) and balsamic (eucalyptus) hints of oak (coffee and dark cocoa). Medium(+) body, medium acidity, medium ripe tannins and medium(+) finish. #carmenère #carmenere #chile #chileanwine — 4 years ago

Albis Maipo Valley Red Blend 2006

Thick and starting to deepen in color. Nose has menthol and dark brooding berries. This is day 2 open and the menthol is really taking trip on the nose. More than I remember on day 1. The tannins are silky and acidity still present, but fading. Green menthol and dark berries, blue and black, pine needles too and a bit of forest floor. Tasty. — 4 years ago
