I think this is my last bottle, 🙁. It is showing very well. Still a deep, vibrant purple violet color. Nose offers fleshy black fruits, with just enough herbal/leafy/tobacco-cigar box to lend interest but not obscure the fruit. The texture is resolved and ample, medium+ body. Served w falafel and homemade sourdough, griddled flatbreads.

Just the right amount of tobacco leaf/herbal funk to match with Hatch green chili pork.

Overly grassy and herbaceous. Not much fruity notes left after seven years, probably should have drunk young. Tight tannin and acidic.

Green pepper and jalapeño for days, mixed with crushed wet rocks. Too much for me but very typical example of a Chilean Cabernet

Deep ripe black fruit with tons of guava. Very smooth Chilean cab with moderate pyrazine. It is a great value as it is only $12 bucks.

They said but I was really surprised at the value here. $10 Cab that isn't a fruit bomb. Offers a few dimensions with nice mint/methyl notes, pepper and tannins. Count me in for a few more.

A bit alcoholic and a little firm. Coming back on day two is a revelation. Classically aromatic with currant leaf, firmly dry/sharp blackberry and noble tannins.

I may be biased, but this wine is fascinating. May be my new fave find. Reminds me of Harvest in Prosser; a mix of hop and concord aromas. Silky smooth.

Opaque purple. Aromas of currant and leafy tobacco. Just the style I prefer from cooler climate Chilean vineyards.
