Delightful. On the lighter side for a Cab, what I call a Pinot drinkers can. It was perfect with our lamb tagine. Bouquet of wet rose petals and lavender. Dark cacao and cassis, tart cherry and baking spices, Cloves. herbaceous herbs du Provence’s. Medicinal notes, peppermint. Caramelized bacon. Dry, long finish. Well balanced.

May 18th, 2021I have only had a few Chilean wines and glad to experience this one. Ended up being much more complex than I anticipated for something so young. Earth tones, sage, slight cinnamon, green pepper and maybe even slight habanero pepper, another vegetal flavor that I failed to identify and then of course, far berry but also maybe a slight plum. Tannins were still a bit stronger than I like but overall, a good bottle and glad I have more to see how they age.

May 17th, 2021A pinch of sweetness (cherry?) for a cab sauv, but very enjoyable and drinkable.
