At the winery in Santiago, Chile..

Nose of light green pep, mint.
Heavy bodied, with an amazingly smooth flavours. Black fruits, currant, tarragon, anise. Beautiful tanning acid blend, 2 minutes later, the finish is still working. Wow.

Deep aromas, smooth mouthfeel and long finish. Chile does Cab right.

Really like this wine. Cab and Merlot leads to lighter body. Nice dark fruit up front w hints of earth. Nice tannins and good acidity with a long finish.

HWT - had in Boothbay, such a surprise for a 10 yr old wine! Delicious deep flavors, with no earthy notes. $74 but would def but some if it was $50 or less on a power buy
