This six-grape blend is as aromatic as one might expect from Carménère, PV, Merlot, Syrah and Cabs Franc and Sauvignon. There is much dark fruit on the nose, along with cigar box, leather, cedar and licorice. The palate is bold, too, with a complex flavor profile and tannins which are useful but not overpowering. — 6 years ago

Well...I must say that this was one of the more surprising wines I’ve had in a while. Picked up from the bargain-bin at the local Hy-Vee for $9. After opening, it was a bit tedious and, to be honest, I didn’t think it was going to come around. We didn’t finish the bottle so just stuffed the cork back in the bottle and stuck it in the basement. The next day, I wasn’t particularly excited to revisit the bottle but I’m so pleased that I did. Cassis, tobacco, baking spices, leather, and graphite on the nose. Cassis, dark cherry and earth on the palate. The structure propped it all up very well. Long-ish finish...I just didn’t expect this from a 7 year-old grocery store wine. Good with food or on its own. Should last until 2021. — 8 years ago

Пряный, не слишком полный аромат, мускатный орех, кардамон, малина, нотки ирги, земляники, чуть печеные. взвешенный, спокойный, очень молодой. Деликатное присутствие дуба, минеральность. Очень хорошо, с потенциалом.

The wine’s tint is medium dark. Its nose is even darker, with an earthiness to it that comes off as a bit brawny. There is the red fruit you anticipate, but aromas of cassis, plum, cola and strong black tea also come forward without a trace of shyness. The palate is also dark, with black and blue fruit joined by savory notes of tar, forest floor, tobacco and a sense of roasted meat. The tannins are tamer than expected in a package like that, but there is still plenty to match up against a thick, juicy steak. This wine is robust, to say the least. — 4 years ago

This wine looks medium-dark in the glass, a deep ruby color. The nose is rather rustic, especially for a Cab. That quality could possibly be due to a limited time in oak, for a Cabernet, only 8 months. There is currant in there, along with bramble and a strong minerality. The palate is on the rough’n’tumble side, with dark berry flavors and earthiness showing. The finish lingers and brings the savory side back for a revisit. — 5 years ago

On the nose; grassy & herbal notes but lighter than the others in the area. Just a touch of cat pee, green bean, white citrus; grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple with yellow & white spring flowers.

The body is leaner & beautiful. The mouthfeel is; creamy delicate, fresh and ripe. Grassy & herbal notes but lighter than the others we’ve had in Casablanca. White citrus; grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, green bean, very fine powdery, chalky minerality with yellow & white spring flowers. Very nice round acidity, and a beautiful, elegant polished finish. Really nice and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that is well priced.

Photos of; the view of the Andes Mountains out of their entrance, a very old press that decorated their entrance, the concrete eggs that are used to ferment part of this Sauvignon Blanc and the view of their Viña from the parking lot. — 8 years ago

Outrageously smooth and sweet. A fantastic wine-if it cost 10 times more than it did, no one would blink — 10 years ago

This Sauvignon Blanc has a New World feel to it, to be sure. The nose is a little bit herbal, a little bit floral and a little bit grapefruity. On the palate, the citrus aspect takes center stage, with a spicy element and a racy acidity. Grapefruit lingers on the finish. Pairing this wine with salads and shellfish is a natural, but it could certainly stand up to a piece of baked chicken. — 5 years ago

Смородина, болгарский перец на гриле, лекарственные корни, лакрица, масса цветочных оттенков, пряности, сухое дерево. Полный, симпатичный, кардамон, немного черничного джема. Очень своеобразно и приятно. Тело полное, очень пряно, с хорошей кислотностью, небольшие творожные нотки. Необычное вино.
