Thought this was going to be really jammy at first, though happy to say that it's an earthy, fairly big wine which is good with seared tuna and rare beef. Nice spices up front, easy tanins and a clean finish.

At $20, fantastic 2010 vintage. Blend of Carmenère, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah; has garnered numerous 90+ point ratings. Nice, meaty wine that can be cellared.

Nice trying of a better Carmenere, still those unpleasant veggie flavors in it... Rather Purple Angel by Montes!

Blend of basically equal parts carmanere, cab sauv, Merlot, & Syrah from Chile. Black fruits, medium tannins, savory finish. Great with steak!

Very subtle but developing flavours. Really evolves on the palate.
