Medium light body. Plum red color. Complex medium plus nose with tons of mushroom and earthy musk. Old world inspired burgundy style with dark cherries. Low alcohol. Good tanin structure. Balanced tight finish. Light mouthfeel. Not too much fruit. More earthy vegetable but not overpowering. Medium low acid. Would pair great with food. — 9 years ago

The wine is a lovely and rich greenish gold, much the same as the LCB “normale,” but maybe a little more vibrant. Aromas are predictably savory - beeswax, lanolin, minerals, citrus - and flavors walk that same path. The tropical fruit hits hard, with that Roussanne nuttiness right behind. The earthy, almost soapy, note stays long after the sip while acidity holds a high threshold. You could spend $45 on a Chardonnay very easily, but this wine gives you something much more interesting for your investment. — 10 years ago

First official tasting of Bodega Chacra's '14 sans soufre Pinot Noir stateside. Coming from same vineyard as Piero's "Cincuneta y Cinco" Pinot. Tasted blind alongside 13 other Pinot Noirs from US, NZ, and France. It showed very well! — 11 years ago

Wow. The first words out of my mouth were, "This tastes expensive." The nose is full and rich as well. Plenty of layers and complexity here. This is going on the very short list of "excellent." - 2012 vintage — 11 years ago

Do not let the rich golden color of this wine deceive you, it is exceptionally light and crisp. Drank well on its own, yet could see it pairing well with soft cheeses or a nice piece of fish. — 9 years ago

What merlot should always be. Ripe cherries, blackberries, and plum with roasted mushrooms, wet forest floor, tobacco, and beautiful acid and tannins. — 9 years ago
