This is an interesting blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Syrah from the Maipo Valley, an iconic region of Chile, a bountiful area that gather the perfect conditions for quality wines for terroir-driven wine seekers.
A wine that can be an acquired taste, showcasing a unique character and definitely a high levels of complexity. The wine has a striking deep, intense violet color, quite aromatic profile that pleases the nose with some dark chocolate, dark cherries and blueberries. On the palate, it provides a balanced acidity, chewing tannins with a very long-lingering finish. It pairs amazing with Manchego cheese, Braised short ribs and even lasagna. — 7 months ago

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, black currants, tobacco leaf, earth, light vegetables, cola, pencil lead, peppercorn and herbs.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Chile. Rich and extracted. Showing nice balance and mouthfeel.

Needs an hour to open up properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Vintage 2004 | popped and poured, perhaps it needs more aeration, the nose seems too old, a bit stinky. The taste is 100% correct and very compelling. Paired with filet. — 2 months ago

Light and dry but funky, almost yeasty tannins mixed with berries. Distinct old vine Chilean varietals that I would like to see more of. — 4 years ago
