Deep ruby in color; black plums, cacao, and green peppercorns on the nose; medium acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, milk chocolate, and wet slate with a long fruity finish. Nellie saysit's ok. I love it. — a month ago

Young and silky fruit balanced by a subtle, wise umami bready hit.

Effervescence meets earth. Fun and well-formed, but also shifting with time. A wine for those who've long since run out of love for "fresh" boring berries and oak blasts, that are actually ploughed with additives. This natural one has an opinion about life and is the more beautiful for it.

Can't wait to see what it ages into tomorrow as well, if the 1L bottle lasts that long.

Block Las Terrazas Pirque Viejo Vineyard Terrunyo Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

v15. Delicious! Soft smoked meat nose. Rich, dark, black currant and blackberry fruit. Smooth, long, slightly astringent, chewy, chalky chocolate and leather finish. Nicely balanced and enjoyable! — 2 days ago

Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2005

Fantastische wijn, mooie fijne neus, krachtig maar fris van smaak en enorm lange afdronk. Afdronk niet mega complex, wel erg fruitig en prettig. Tannines nog iets aanwezig aan het einde van de afdronk. Fles verliest na 3 uur openen we wat van zijn frisheid en de fruittonen verdwijnen wat, dus beter niet decanteren en anders redelijk snel drinken. — 25 days ago

Very nice- survived many years and moves. Caught it before it went, very lovely, still solid fruit, balanced, soft tannins. Mom would have loved it. — 11 days ago

Aconcagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

Refreshing, vibrant red fruit. Medium bodied. All in great harmony. Just limited finish and lacking a level of complexity. — 2 months ago
