Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with medium intensity aromas of black and red fruits with herbs, spice and toasty notes. On the palate this youthful wine shows flavors of blueberry, red cherry, plum and slight herbaceous and spice notes. Well balanced with vivid acidity and ripe tannins, full-body ending with toasty vanilla character. Very good, bottle age will benefit. Tasting Sample.

August 21, 2021. Deep ruby color, black fruit, chocolate, hint of bell pepper. Best to decant a bit. Lovely Carmenére.

Deep, earthy, plum concentrate, solid tannic structure. Good bang for the buck!

Medium to full bodied. Very nice notes of dark berries, transitioning to bell peppers and hint of chocolate. Very smooth, well balanced. At the moment, this is one of our favourites
