4/2/2024 - Side Hustle Wino wrote: NRThis was a pleasant surprise - admittedly expectations were low. Received as part of a local wine club, @ $20, and a variety that doesn’t get much love but we really enjoyed with smoked pork butt. Next day glass was even better. |

3/3/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 pointsRetail $20. Ridiculously Heavy Bottle (827g; 1lb 13.2oz). Under cork. 100% Carménère. There is certainly a meaty, animal-type vibe here (ox blood?) with some fruit sneaking through along with some black olive on the nose. The palate is fairly big with an initial wave of fruit but said fruit is more baked, stewed, even jammy with hints of mocha and spice. The finish is somewhat short with hints of mocha. 88 Points. |

Black fruit, oak, pepper, hints of cardamom- but in a good way. Finish is medium. For a <$20 bottle, better than many in its category |

10/12/2023 - Martin Redmond Likes this wine: 92 pointsDelving Into The Rich World of Chilean Carménère: Deep purple color with black cherry, cedar, paprika, carob and vanilla aromas. On the palate it's medium bodied and very fresh with well integrated velvety, sweet tannins and black cherry, black raspberry, dried blueberry, vanilla and dark chocolate flavors accented with savory spice. Long finish. Made from organic grapes. Raised in French oak(18% new) for 12 months. 14.5% abv| SRP - $21 |

5/25/2023 - juffer Likes this wine: 89 pointsSurprised this is drinking so well. Blackberry and cedar nose. Rich, but not over the top mouth. Ample but savory fruit on the long finish. Perfect with steak in place of a steak. Great QPR as a mid-tier Napa replacement on steak night at a fraction of the price. |

2/3/2023 - ElJefeTX Likes this wine: 91 pointsUnique Bordeaux blend of Carménère, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. For the price, this delivers some pretty red fruit of black cherry, ripe red plum and wild raspberry on the nose and palate. Some softer notes of bell pepper, toasted oak and cocoa as well. |

10/28/2022 - Vino&Whiskey Likes this wine: 88 pointsNeeds time to breath/open up. It’s tight & disjointed upon opening. Once allowed to breath the flavor integrate & make for a pleasant drinking experience. Heavy black pepper & slight vegetal flavors permeate the wine accompanied by cherry, plumb and oak. This definitely has room for improvement over the next couple of years. |

9/1/2022 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 90 pointsBright purple color. Lovely nose of raspberries and black cherries, topped in a cool mix of spicy bell pepper, black pepper, sage, with nuances of vanilla and cola. Juicy texture, nice grip on the palate but everything stays smooth, with delightful freshness as well. The cranberry relish and black currant fruit is deep and tangy, laced with black pepper, anise, smoky tones and tobacco. Really love this grape and this iteration of it. Aged 12 months in 18% new French oak. |

9/1/2022 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 89 pointsVibrant purple color. A deep core of tart black currant and black cherry fruit, tossed with tobacco leaf, violet petals, roasted red pepper and tomato leaf – smelling it just makes me want to grill steak and veg. A tart mix of plum and currant fruit on the palate is buttressed by moderately grippy tannins and vibrant acidity. The tones of smoky earth, tar, violets, soy and tobacco add a lot to ponder and enjoy. A lot of freshness and complexity in here. Aged 12 months in French oak, 18% new. |
