Not much depth to this Rose, but the nose is pleasant and floral. Enjoyable on a warm day!

2019 Burrowing Owl Athene
5/19/2023 - peous Likes this wine: 88 Points
A balanced blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, it offers familiar dark fruit aromas and some earthy notes. The palate features a moderately full body with dark fruit flavors and a touch of spice. While it has a fairly balanced structure, the finish is somewhat short-lived. Overall, the 2019 Athene is a good wine for those looking to explore Burrowing Owl's offerings, but it may not leave a lasting impression on more discerning palates.

2006 Cheval des Andes
4/9/2023 - peous Likes this wine: 91 Points
Château Cheval Blanc, one of the Premier Grand Cru Classé A wineries in Bordeaux collaborated with Terrazas de los Andes after noticing that the vineyards there were similar to those in St. Emilion where Château Cheval Blanc is located.
This Bordeaux-style blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot displays notes of dark fruit, chocolate and mineral, with firm tannins and a long finish. It's a complex and elegant wine that can be aged for a few more years, but can also be enjoyed now with a good cut of red meat. Overall, it's a great representation of the style the estate aims to portray, both in terms of boldness and finesse.
