Over ripe/rotting red fruit and forest on the nose. Lighter body lower tannin. Smooth easy drinking. Good second impression. $15

Not sure if I just paired it wrong but this came out very vinegary tasting and musty smelling to me. Certainly wasn't the worst wine, but wouldn't buy again.

This is a forthright and genuine expression of Peumo. Bursts with intense dark purple color and displays a subtle but elegant nose. This wine doesn't hide from what it is: full-bodied and highly acidic. Lots of tart red raspberries, cherries, sour plums, and sweet elderberries on the nose. Herbaceous sage and spearmint slice through the palate. Great dark cocoa and green peppercorn nuances. Healthy amounts of oak from start to finish. Drinking very young right now. Tannins are more bitter like fresh kale and drinks a little hot. Still, what an amazing food and table wine to have on call. Could cellar for another 5 years without any issues. Cheers!

Disappointing for me. Very vinegary start and unpeppery bland finish.

Dark chocolate with spice. Good combo. Available at LCBO for $17.95. Works for me.

Wine Expo 2017. Soft. Cinnamon. C liked it more than J. We also really liked the Cabernet Sauvignon from this winery.
