9p% Carignan, remainder Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% aged in used French oak for 10 months. This is a great value wine to have with grilled food. Nice acids and the tannins are not stem like at all. The producer did an excellent job with this vintage.

Was hoping for a little more nuance but a fine everyday wine.

Interesting - has all of the suspected greenness of inexpensive Chilean reds, but with an unexpected, brambly Carignan fruit profile.

White pepper, clay, stone fruit, rich full body. Great with food.

Expected great things from a Chilean wine. Out if the bottle it was simple. Good fruit on the forefront and a hint of petrol on the back end. After an hour, this was a totally different wine. An orchestra of fruit flavors, pepper, and a nutty finish. This wine finishes relatively long for its youth. I would drink every day. Melissa Carignan 2012
