Cabernet with a bit of Syrah added, deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, cedar and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry with cedar, cacao and pepper spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cedar, cacao and mineral spice character. Good now but wait a few years.

Little coffee, a little green tomato plant, and some plum. A really solid Cabernet.

This wine unfortunately was placed in the wrong spot in the line up. Too many quality heavy hitters surrounded it. This is a medium bodied wine with light mouth watering red fruit and heavy tannin.

2012. For a moment we thought it was corked(after trying a huge fruit bomb); quickly realized that it was a PROFOUND stoney minerality and earthiness. This is seriously Bordeaux from Chile
