Clear ruby colour in the glass.
On the nose intensely meaty with plum, leather and some mushroom notes. It is a very ripe style with strong intensity.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity and tannins. It coats the mouth with a silky sensation. Medium body.
Medium finish, excellent value Pinot Noir from Chile. — 8 years ago

Mineralogy, peaches, with an overall tropical mouthful. Mouthful has an exciting jazz factor. [2 barrels blended into the stainless steel tank] acidity shows through and finish is rounded by the oak. Screw cap made it's way into Chile! — 10 years ago

Very smooth. The partly barrel-fermented, partly-steel fermented really comes through. Great mouth feel and balance. — 11 years ago

Not a huge fan of Sauvignon Blanc, but this is fantastic. Crisp, but not just another simplistic Sauv Blanc, it has character. — 8 years ago

Soft like Chileans like it but with noticeable structure and bright red fruits. We'll made wine! — 8 years ago
Very nice choice for inexpensive Sauv Blanc!!! Lemon, lime, green apple and some grapefruit. Also had a very smooth texture. At the end of the bottle seemed to pick up some green pepper but that may have been a result of dinner pairing. — 9 years ago
Crisp and delicious! Citrus notes, nice and dry. Perfect summer wine with seafood from the grill. — 9 years ago

Opened second yesterday after the La Sirena 2005 Syrah was a bit tough ( Sunny's parent's are visiting). Crowd please, velvety and smooth, great nose of dark fruits, lighter notes and less heavy undertones compared to the La Sirena. Finished tonight with pasta and truth be told, some Korean scallion kimchee ( not an obvious pairing) but Sunny said it was great! — 11 years ago
