Pais De Poetas

Viña Zaranda

Secano Interior Pais 2012

Dusty dusty nose - aged hazelnuts.

Light bodied, with a touch of mushroom, tart berry, cran, pom, pom-cran, lemon grass acidity. This is a wild, ever changing wine, every time I taste it.
Last bottle, will have to go back to Chile, and get some more..

Pais is the grape I would really like to try. Nice tasting notes, sounds like the style I tend to enjoy more and more recently.

Reserva Rioja Tinta del Pais Tempranillo 2010

V10. Big wine, decant for 45mn. Tar, cedar, slight smokey bouquet. Deep dark berries and pepper fruit. Soft chalk and leather finish. A bit unbalanced, and can lay down a while...watch out! — 10 years ago

Re-tasted 12/23/16. Very good. Licorice and cedar nose. Bright, rich, black cherry fruit. Nice chewy, chalky and tar finish. Recommend decanting 30-45 minutes

This is the Garage Wine Co. 2017 Phoenix Frement. I’ve asked Delectable to add it.

One of the more enjoyable nights we’ve had on the trip was meeting Derek Mossman - Owner/Winemaker of Garage Wine Co. and tasting through 15+ wines at his house and then going out to dinner to enjoy the best two wines. The next day we got up and picked in his Truquilemu Vineyard; which is about 35km from the coast.

Macerated lemon, a little cream, citrus blossoms, underripe pineapple, melon, light chalkiness, passion fruit, guava, white flowers, granite mineral, very good acidity and a rich polished finish.

Here's a counter example to my dislike of carbonic--this was fresh, light, bright, and spicy. Almost like punch, but in a good way--lots of cherry and strawberry notes I loved here. Would be a perfect red to go with spicy food. Pais = mission grape. — 10 years ago
