Campfire wine; smoky, meaty, vegetal, and a good dose of fir tips. Rich and velvety with plenty of balance. Totally outside my norm and really enjoying it!

Cherries, vanilla, some woodsy qualities, fairly smooth tannins.

Dark color! Nose is herbaceous. Mulberries and fresh cherry juice. Med + body. Great acidity and good framing tannins. Creamy smooth Cabernet. This is the style most Americans want bit won't try because it is Chilean. Good value at $26.99

Deep ruby in color; cassis, blackberries, and graphite on the nose; medium minus acidity; high tannins; tastes like green peppercorns, menthol, wet gravel, and clay dust with a long finish. I think it needs to breath for a bit.

After a little time in the glass it added a black cherry flavor to what I de ribbed above. Much more on balance. It tastes like an old world cab. It's a little bitter, otherwise I would rate it higher.
