Nov 2nd, 2017Better wine to pair with something meaty and salty. Sipping solo is a bit too dry for my tastes but with something unctuous, all the flavors start to come out.

Paired really well a nice sized pan fried pork chop. Delicious. Looking forward to trying it next time with friends.

Bold and smooth. Very Merlot like with notes of cocoa, black fruit, black cherry, tobacco and leather. A favourite for the night and paired perfectly with wood fire roasted ribs at Park Distillery in Banff.

First wine since having #19 emergency extracted this week.
Miss that tooth immensely.
This wine is such an incredible Carmenere.
Dusted cocoa fills the nose, following into rich layers of South American terroir. Slight salinity, ripe, delicious fruit, chocolate covered wild berries. The acidity is well integrated into the cigar box.

2015 vintage- April 2018
Subtle, mild spicy taste with a strong fruit finish.

Mar 18th, 2018Oh what a nice nose of roasted cacao nibs.
Fresh garden stalk, cacao, berry fruits, medium bodied with dusty tannins.
The bottle lies upon the flag of Patagonia.
