  Much better bottle than my previous. Good complex nose and while still a bit hot it has some nice mint and powerful structured dark fruit.

  A bit hot and out of balance. Very ripe but the alcohol comes through.

  Powerful but not differentiated. Chocolate tones after cassis in the nose. Some pepper. Unbalanced but very powerful on the palate. Grassy tones.

  Drinking beautifully right now. Lots of cedar and red fruits on the nose, with darker fruit and some leather and firm tannins in the mouth. Stood up nicely to grilled porterhouse steaks.

  decided to explore mendoza valley after reading review of an inn and spa that we hope to visit. this wine was very enjoyable but seems to have been made in a style intended for current drinking. i usually prefer a little more stuffing. i did not find a war between the flavor components of the three grapes as described by another taster. the wine seems quite harmonious with primary dark berry and chocolate flavors as described by professional reviewer. the wine is a lttile over priced considering that many california wines in this price range are more interesting. nevertheless, considering the small production for this wine, i guess they are entitled to recover their costs in return for providing a nice introduction to what mendoza valley has to offer.
