Fabulous and funky. — 8 years ago
Delectable couldn't identify the pic. No surprise since they don't use a UPC label. Is actually still a país but not pipeño. Santa Cruz de Coya . . . Perhaps not not an especially complex wine, but has a beautiful, slightly foggy light ruby color; it's unfiltered and you get a really acidic mid-palate grip. I thought it was terrific. And I clearly need to keep drinking more small producer País. My first 2016. — 9 years ago
Love this natty wine. Super fruity but a good funk and just the right amount of must to hold it all together — 6 years ago
I recall loving Roberto Henriquez’ Rivera del Notro white, but his 2018 País just blew my mind. After all, he is one of Chile's most promising young winemakers and largely responsible (alongside Luyt) for the resurgence of Pipeño, a derogatory slang for peasant wine generally made with the local País or Mission grape. Grapes for this wine were sourced from 200-year-old vines in Nacimiento, in the Bio Bio region, about 300 miles south of Santiago. Light-bodied, elegant and super drinkable 😋 — 6 years ago
Strawberry and tamerind - so delicious — 7 years ago
Right bank Bordeaux imitating pipeño. Old vine plots of Merlot, Malbec and Cab-sav, biodynamic farming, fermented with only native yeast and aged 12 months in amphorae (unlined?), which has performed like an old-school microbullage, mellowing the tannins and fruit, yet the results are lifted not flabby. Soft and refreshing, with a genteel savory finish and slow building tannins. Needs a vigorous decant before drinking with Trader Joe’s ‘Pastry Puffs’. — 7 years ago
40% Malbec, 30% Pais, 30% Cab
DO Secano Interior, de Yumbel
Dark ruby with blue hue. Opaque in the center, irony, hibiscus, nutmeg, dusty, ripe banana peel, slightly herbal with savory note. On the palate: ripe raspberry, pomegranate, high tannin, med body, clean and refreshing mouth feel but can feel the alcohol in the throat. Cinnamon, steel, slightly licorice. Med to Med plus acidity. Leave mouth dry. An interesting blend with lots of characters. Tasted a lot better on second day. — 8 years ago
Light and sparkly red. — 9 years ago
