Very smooth wine--full flavor and very enjoyable. Started with filet mignon and finished with a cigar--developed over the evening. Definitely a repeat buy

Very basic Cab. Decent for the money (under $10). Currant, vanilla, and earth on the nose. Not very complex. A bit high on the acids and tannins through the finish.

Sweet raspberry fruit jam with touches of leather and bubble gum. The nose is quite sweet but appealing for sure. The flavors come across not too much like a cab. The bubble gum flavors are there again with sweet blackberries. Little to no tannins present. For $7, you really cannot ask for too much. It is more of a cellar saver than anything. My recommendation is to step up to the normal Vina Santa Rita cab for a few bucks. It possesses more cab character. This one is more syrah (aussie, yellow tail) than Cab.

The smell of the wine is common to most Chile wines that I have had - but the taste is slightly different - it has the normal Chile grape spice - a little sweeter - not too sweet, but equally as good as the other Chile wines that I have come to love.

Dark purple in color. Nose of loam, spices, road tar, and a hint of red cherries. Medium body with lots of veggies mixed with white pepper on the palate. Very earthy much less fruit than I would have expected. The finish is tart with a weak taste of sour cherries or cranberries. I do think this bottle was damaged, the cork looks good, either way this wine is not for me.

Easy drinking, uncomplicated, with green pepper taste. Appropriately priced at $6.

Good table wine. Nice and "wormy" Cab Sauv. One dimensional.
