June 24, 2023 - Nice combination of cherries, bay leaf, tobacco, and herbs on the nose. Shows a really nice presence on the palate. Mid-to-full-bodied, nice complexity, with leather and spice notes powered by a nice backbone of structure and brightness.

June 17, 2023 - Really flavorful New World Bordeaux blend. Nice floral notes and great berry fruit. Surprisngly long finish for a $15 wine.

February 3, 2023 - Unique 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.

September 1, 2022 - Light purple color. Ooh, the nose gushes with sweet cherries, dark plums, and complexities of black pepper, clove, rose potpourri, violet and clay. The palate is super suave with smooth but structured tannins and lively acidity. Fresh plums and cherries, backed up with cocoa, coffee, gravelly earth, and a mix of deep floral and spice tones to unpack. A delightfully balanced and pretty Chilean red, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Carmenere, 10% Petit Verdot, 10% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged in 2/3 French oak for 12 months.
