Nice to be in Chile where the wines are cheap (vs Ecuador where the alcohol tax makes prices obscene). I chose this wine solely because it had the coolest looking label at the grocery store I went to, and paid $5 for it. Very woody nose upon opening the #screwcap (which I love compared to synthetic corks), but 30 mins of oxygen revealed a balanced and pleasant, if simple wine. Good fruit and tannin yet nothing overpowers, and has some length. Overall very impressed at this price point.
