Popped and poured. The 2012 pours a deep ruby, with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberries, desiccated cherries, prune, pipe tobacco, new leather, purple flowers, wet rocks, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and quite satisfying. The texture is luxurious. This drinking well now and should continue to do so for a least a few more years but why wait? — 2 years ago

Ambos espumantes están elaborados con uvas Chardonnay y Pinot Noir, provenientes de Tupungato; y realizado por medio del método tradicional o “champenoise”.
“Este sueño de Chardonnay y Pinot Noir, conjuga sentimientos, colores, aromas, texturas; en gratitud, armonía y amor con la naturaleza, la vida y el Universo”, así lo define el propio Philippe Caraguel en la contraetiqueta de sus nuevos espumantes. — 6 years ago

Bold flavors typical of Malbec. A deep richness to each note that continues to sink in toward the end of each glass. — 8 years ago

Big, bold and outstanding. A little more dark fruit heavy than some of its argentinean relatives. — 10 years ago

Mesmerizing nose of rich, slightly ripe red and black fruits that are unmistakably Napa, licorice, prune, smoked meat, black tea, dark chocolate, dried mushroom, cigar box, all tightly knit together. The palate was equally impressive with warm soft texture and complex layer. The full body is self-assured with power and grace. Velvety tannins still has baby teeth. And the lightly spiced and sweet finish lasts for minutes.
A complete wine at 15 years, but will reach perfection in another 5-10 years. — 6 years ago

Hmmm. Not sure what to think. Just an all around nice wine but nothing too special. Quite spicy, peppery notes, well integrated tannins. Nothing too oaky (always a concern with Napa Valley wines) but lacking depth and intrigue. — 6 years ago

Drinkable wine - light pretty nose reminding me of candied lemon rind and the mouth has a pleasant creme brulee oak touch - but just right - and nice acid. — 9 years ago
