When you have a birthday party for a 2 year old, the adults need to drink better than juice boxes...
Damn tasty stuff!

Bramble, beef jerky and soy sauce on the nose. I know!? But very noticeable black fruits on palette. Clean tannins. Kiss of spice. Paired with steak.

Deep ruby with a pronounced capsicum note on the nose, giving way to blueberry and nicely balanced black cherry and blackberry. Medium tannin. Pleasant but nothing special.

Dried herbs, black fruit, and spice. M acid, body and round tannin. Long balanced finish. Both chocolate and vanilla on the palate.

Decanter gives this a fair nod, and I can see why.
Cocao powdered tomato stalk wafting in this fall air.
Horehound candy, mint and dark chocolate. Freshly rolled cigar. Mint plum.
A very well put together Carmenere, sophisticated even, pardon me, it do you have any grey poupon?

Nice dark fruit and vegetal notes with balanced acidity and tannin. Too much American oak overpowers subtlety of flavour.

Sep 7th, 2020Too much American oak overpowering the fresh dark fruit and vegetal notes. Tanning and acidity are well balanced.

Sep 7th, 2020Dark ruby red color. Strong smells of fresh pepper, salsa, pomegranate, and smoke. Pretty healthy tannins with tastes of cherries, plums, minerals, bell peppers, cigar box, and vanilla. Will be pairing with a bowl of chicken chili in an effort to compliment but not overwhelm the peppers.
