Needed an red wine(500mL)for osso buco recipe tonight, picked this on price C$9 ! More importantly I have not come across a bad Chilean red yet, unlike some cheap Ontario or California wine . This C$9 wine did not disappoint , way better than some that are more than double it’s price.

Have finished at least 5 bottles of this before this review. At 1.5L of an unusual dark+light red grape combo, the acidity and spiciness go well with pasta and chicken. Tried the 2014 and 2015 vintages. Love this.
