Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Carmenère and 4% Petit Verdot, aged in new oak. Deep Ruby with pronounced aromas of ripe fruit, oak and sweet floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and sweet plums with vanilla, cedar, herb and earthy notes. Fine sweet tannins, long finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with notes of spice, fruit and cedar. Beautiful, just starting to open, will be good for next decade.

This is wine seems overpriced for me. That being said...I preferred it to some Super Tuscans blind. It’s a delicious wine. #chile #bordeauxblend

Great wine. Acidic, but well balanced. Cab dominated Bordeaux?
