We really liked this wine. It was smooth, balanced, nice fruit/wood ratio, long finish, and a good price. Would definitely buy again - such a nice change from the heavy California sock you in the face style of Cabs.

Still loving this wine. Great nose. On the palate, plenty of fruit, but restained and in perfect balance. Soft tannins... almost wanted a bit more bite up against a grilled CAB strip steak. Fresh and lively right through to the end. Not a decadent Napa Cab, not as complex and refined as a great Left Bank blend, but this wine works well on so many levels. A go-to vintage after vintage. Drinking great now; it should drink well for several more years, but I don't see it gaining much from additional bottle age.

Medium bodied, some wood earth and cassis present, nice finish. But unlike other reviewers, no one was moved by this wine. Definitely a nice bottle but not enough to push it into the "promised land" of 90+ company. Decent PQR

First bottle of 6 for this vintage. Really, really nice wine for a pretty simple and straightforward value offering from Chile! Opened (and finished) with a C.A.B. grilled picanha, fire roasted asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes.

Deep purple red color. Aromas black fruits, cassis and a touch of pencil lead. Ripe, full-bodied fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length. Integrated and long on the palate. At peak and an excellent value.
