    April 12, 2021 - Got many compliments on this fabulous blend. Tons of fruit and just balanced enough to be very enjoyable and approachable by many. After reading some other tasting notes from prior years, I'd say this wine is maturing wonderfully in bottle. Drinkem' or holdem'.

    November 15, 2019 - Too acidic, too bland, very short finish. lack of fruit and tannins. Not better than cheap supermarket stuff. Malbec on the nose initially, but fades away very quickly, leaving green cabsav.

    September 11, 2019 - Not the Caro, the Amancaya. Nice blue fruit, fine grained black pepper.

    July 21, 2019 - Ruby colour with a clay rim. Cabernet Sav at only 30% still manages to dominate the flavour and nose on this one. Red cherries, wine comes across and fresh and refreshing, nice uplifting flavours. Well integrated oak, somewhat dry finish. Worked rather nicely with medium rare ribeye.
