Dark ruby red color. Strong smells of fresh pepper, salsa, pomegranate, and smoke. Pretty healthy tannins with tastes of cherries, plums, minerals, bell peppers, cigar box, and vanilla. Will be pairing with a bowl of chicken chili in an effort to compliment but not overwhelm the peppers. — 7 years ago
Deep ruby red with garnet core. Lush and fresh nose coated with black cherries, plums, Mexican chocolate, and a bit spiced. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Nice bit of acidity on the palate with some mulch, dark spices, black fruits, dried cherries and light graphite. Medium length finish. Drink till 2024. — 7 years ago
Generous sample from Caracol GM. There is a reason this is rated as a 9.4; this wine is so delicious. Gorgeous, dark yet soft fruits. Lush and jammy, loved it! Can’t wait to have a bottle! — 5 months ago

Loved this Merlot! It’s just mellow enough, but has the complexity you want in wine to keep it interesting. Mid-level tanins with a chocolatey finish. Great stand alone wine. — 6 years ago

Delicious! What a steal. Could drink this all night. Some Cab characteristics, but a bit lighter on the backside. That doesn’t mean anything except to me. Lovely wine for the price, well balanced- cardamon, dirty, apples, strawberry, very ripe plum. Can I find more? — 6 years ago
