Very tasty and exciting blend. Herbal notes of Carmenere, sleekness of Carignan, dark savory notes of fig and raisin seed from 100yr old Pais. Drink now or hold 12-18 months.

Tastes like it came straight from some wild vines growing up in some trees...which it did...and is perfect in its own way. — 6 years ago

A gorgeous late harvest sav blanc wine from Chile! — 7 years ago
This did NOT suck! Luscious red and blue fruit, lavender essence, brilliant energy/acidity, some exotic spicyness dissolving into some tonal smoky minerality. Moderately long finish. I was not familiar with this producer but let the somm (at a restaurant with JB chops) guide me to something that made wonderful music with a brilliant pork collar feast. 100% Carignan...perhaps my first from Chile. And still a baby...should be even more fantastic in the 2020's. — 7 years ago

Lovely wine, mostly smooth cherry flavour. I would rate it as the second before wine that I have tried. Really pleasantly to drink ( have to buy it again)! — 4 years ago
Really interesting Chilean Red. This one had to improve with age! Dark fruits, poblano pepper with a touch of anise. Black pepper spice on the long finish. Great with beef! Thanks Ron! Revisited in March 2020. Wine has aged well. Does not taste like a typical Carmeniere. Very good. Revisited yet again in October 2020. Ditto. — 5 years ago

Another winner from the 2002 vintage, this is a cabernet-driven bordeaux-style blend. The nose has really cool hints of rum of all things (maybe from the barrels?), along with older cab leather notes and hints of lavendar. Nicely balanced with a great finish, this is great wine to share with my former post-doc Monica Soler as our last bottle in Chile! — 8 years ago
