Much to be thankful for! This will be a blockbuster in a few years. Still drinking really young. Could easily go 25-30. — a month ago

Great anniversary wine at La Cuchara in Baltimore. Beautiful old nose of suede, rich leather, licorice and fig spread, with a silky body, a pale brick red, brown, deep maroon color, a nice acidic tinge, and prominent rich cranberry jam, fresh plum, and leathery notes. — 6 months ago

what an outstanding experience and without question one of the best wines of the year for me. This is a world class business card of what American oak can do at its best. It starts with a powerful yet elegant knows of dusty cherry, old licorice but mostly gives way to inebriating feeling of grandma‘s old spice cabinet. Something in the nose already tells you that fine fine tans are waiting for you, but the palate is overwhelmingly silky smoothness, possibly the highest combination of intense-yet-silky tannins you can find anywhere, with bright acidity and medium to light body that makes the whole thing dance. I decided to check the producer website and they recommend pairing it with cod with sauce. Luck would have it that I randomly was eating pasta filled with salt cod and tomato sauce. The pairing works well as it further rejuvenates the wine, but I would say it shines at its brightest just by itself, letting those tannins tell the story without any need to curb them down. I’m drinking from Coravin meaning I cannot decant the wine, but even the sediment tastes good. Just like those people who brag about buying burgundy in the 70s, I feel like once the ebbs and flows of trends will shift I will be bragging about buying a 26-year-old monte real gran reserva, kept 24 years at the winery, for 60 bucks, which in San Francisco wouldn’t even pay for the cost of storage  — 4 months ago

Elegant, balanced, not the strongest example of 68, but subtle fruit, medium length. Delightful. Comfortable slippers on a cold rainy night in Napa. — a month ago

Not your grandmothers clarete- whatever that may be. Light hibiscus in color, with strong notes of red currant, blood orange, cassis, and black cherry. A bit chewy & substantial on palate. While it’s not Rose, I could see serving this to someone who finds Lopez de Heredia Rose too funky or… like me, cost prohibiting. For about 70$ less, it’s delicious & fascinating. — 5 months ago

This is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and black fruits on the nose with earth notes and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward.

Showing currants, cooked plums, black cherries, light oak, spices and chocolates.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

A good everyday wine and much better than the last time I had this vintage (3 years ago).

14% alcohol by volume.
