2012 Vintage is the best vintage by far of this wine. Huge finish to this wine with lots of fruit, if I tasted blind I would have guessed a Napa Cab — 8 years ago

It's time for my Friday's Cabernet fix. This time, a wonderful Chilean Cabernet.

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.

Beautiful nose of blueberries, blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather, bell pepper, sage, peppermint, eucalyptus and smoke.

Full bodied with medium acidity and beautiful long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherries, figs, cloves, herbs, earth, cola, vanilla, oak, spices, light vegetables, coffee, chocolates, bell pepper, tobacco, beef jerky and peppercorn.

Long finish with firm tannins and black pepper.

An elegant, Single Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile, with lots of complexity and fitness, but not fully balanced yet.

Still young now, but very enjoyable by itself, and better with BBQ Meats. I paired it with a cheese platter, crackers and nice company.

Grapes are grown at the foot hills of the Andes Mountains, on stony soils. 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc.

14.5% alcohol by volume. — 9 years ago

Really good wine. Solid. Fruit/acid/tannin/minerality in a complete cynergy. Smokey, spicy, blackberry, pepper. BBQ or grilling wine. I want more of this from Argentina — 10 years ago

A very round, well balanced cab. I imagine a light purple stratocumulus cloud at the tip of the palate; not overwhelming, but present in an enjoyable way. Yes. — 10 years ago

You just can't beat a Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. This one didn't disappoint. Very smooth and not much of a spicy finish but still a great Malbec for the price. — 9 years ago

One of the best Merlots ever! Wonderful apple and strawberry nose. Smooth and moderate tannins with a hint of leather and moderate acidity. Not overly sweet like the nose would indicate — 9 years ago

Intense full bodied red of Malbec and Cab Sauvignon, rich silky plums raspberry, smoky, leathery, but of tannins need lots of time to breathe, and great with spicy dishes. — 8 years ago

This is a special bottle of wine--I've never experienced Argentina at this level. The cassis, the eucalyptus, the structure, the Bordeaux earth. Just getting started. — 9 years ago
