Tried twice! Blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah and 10% Carmenère, deep Ruby with purple hues, aromas of black fruits and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black currant and black pepper spice with some cacao notes. Rustic big tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and powerful spice. Drink now and over next 3-5 years for max benefit.

Decanted this wine which definitely made it show it's full range. (Treating your wine right? Who knew!) Served this with some Chilean dishes and it went beautifully. Raspberry tobacco and leather nose, dark fruits with some excellent balancing earthiness from the secondary ferment in the barrel. Sharp tannins linger just long enough to make you want more sips. Would try more from this winery!
