  • 13.5% alcohol; CellarTracker designates it 'Maipo Valley', the label says 'Valle Central'; imported by Eagle Peak Estates, Holland, Mendocino County, California; composite cork, 4 mm maximum wine seepage; strong cork aroma, sweetness seems to be added on top, whiff of olives and sweet bread and butter pickles, maybe also cardamom; light to medium-weight foil; fast legs, very dark burgundy color; nose of tannins, stone fruit, some citrus; oxygenation hastened via Vinturi, opened and tasted after 15 minutes at 24 degrees C (about 10 Fahrenheit degrees warmer than the label recommends) in a Lucas & Lewellen branded glass designed for Cabernet/Merlot; full bodied, a dull taste of fermentation that didn't go all the right way -- a little bitter, a little sour, a little wet wool; the long finish is downright unpleasant; the wine is low priced and you get what you pay for, or less

  • The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are fast. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis), rose, violet, cherry, cedar, oak and bell pepper. It tastes like cranberry, raspberry, strawberry jam, cherry and black pepper. The body is medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
