A nice Chilean blend, paired really well with a burger!

Blackberry dry, Smoky finish , medium intensity, light tannins (a tannin-sensitive friend did not get stuffed up drinking it).

Smooth like James Bond. Blackberry and currants with a spicy and oaky finish. Tannins are very soft with some time to air.

Cocoa, tobacco, dark stone fruits, roasted green pepper, tomato stalk, wrapped in a cedar plank all with aftertones of funk. a fantastic nightly drinker for the price. Cab franc and carmenere marry very well.

OK but not inspiring. The cab franc takes the edge off the carmenere. Noticeable in the finish. Definitely better (smoothness, subtle complexity) after breathing for a few hours.

Soft plums and cherries. Not mind-bending but nothing wrong with it. Quite smooth with cheese and charcuterie

A gift from a customer. Nice gesture, but it tastes like artifice and bullshit.

Excellent red for sipping or with steak. Pairs good with blue cheese or sharp cheddar. Nose is more subtle then deep. I smell vanilla For shizzle. Anyway it's tasty.
