Excellent wine!!!! Great by itself! — 9 months ago
Chilean Bordeaux Style blend that includes Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (20%) and Carmenere (10%). Light ruby color with a distinctive orange rim. Showing its age a bit but still quite enjoyable. Aromas of dried black cherries/berries along with hints of tobacco and wet soil. Flavors of dark chocolate, prunes, blackberries, coffee, cassis and a bit of black licorice. Nice presence of oak on the medium finish. Medium-plus texture and body. Acidity is quite present which gives this wine a bit of youthful freshness. Very interesting to try and still quite alive. Thanks so much for the bottle, Petey! — 10 days ago

I really enjoy a nice Carmenere having been introduced to this varietal on business trips to Chile. Typically a great complement to grilled meats, this somewhat young Carmenere (2020 vintage) did not disappoint! Ripe berries but with just a touch of a oeppery finish is a nice pairing with the flank steak, grilled Serranos, roasted sweet potatoes and chimichurri sauce we had for dinner. Not sure how much variety there is between vintages but the 2020 seems like a good one! — 8 months ago
Made from Garganega grapes, pale lemon yellow color with aromas of tropical fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and lemon citrus with nutty notes and lively acidity. Smooth finish ending with fruit and mineral notes. Nice value! — 5 months ago
Deep ruby in color; bell pepper, black plums, and raspberries on the nose; medium; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, green peppercorns, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Jason and I like it. — 8 months ago
