Albis Maipo Valley Red Blend

Smells vegetal - reminds me of some of the premium Rodney Strong Cabernets I used to taste at RS. Bell pepper, currant, and cherry on the nose. — 4 months ago

Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Blend of leather and smoke, cardamon and nutmeg spices, rich mouthfeel, hint of vanilla aftertaste, one of the most delicious Cabs we’ve had, paired perfectly with Rib Eye. — 16 days ago

#Remembrance #Love 6/25

One of our special stops in Maipo, Chile.

The day we visited, they had just received & were using their basic bottle labeling machine. They were elated to no longer have to do it by hand. 2018.

49% Carmenere, 42.5% Cabernet & 8.5% Syrah.

Picture of Sofia in Nefertiti’s Tomb. The top of Sofia’s bucket list.

The fruits are ripe and dryish; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum with big skin, plum pudding, darkest cherries & strawberries hues, creamy raspberries. Dark chocolate w/ fudge frosting, caramel, mocha, deep, dark spices w/ some palate heat, moist, forest floor with dry leaves, clove, nutmeg, soft cinnamon stick, vanillin, black tea, black licorice, dry river stone, moist, grey, volcanic clay, limestone & dry crushed rock minerals, dry top soil, some black pepper, dry tobacco & chewy leather, oak wood shavings, dry, withering & candied flowers, excellent, round acidity with a ruby, fresh, round, well; tensioned, balanced, knitted, smartly polished finish that lasts minutes.

Still has 10-15 years of good life ahead.

It was Bordeaux that first embraced Carmenere and the only Chateau that I know that still blends it is Clerc Milon…only about 2-3%. Chile champions Carmenere now.

Photos; Sofia & I tasted on top of that structured & their barrel room.

Lota Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2013

Tremendous cab/ Merlot blend. Plum, dried fruit, leather, I think it would be interesting to blind taste this against some of the great French Bordeaux’s — a month ago
