Community Tasting Notes 5

  May 1, 2012 - Probably in its dumb phase but still good. Definitely from Chile even before you taste it. Smells of Clay and vanilla. Taste hits you as hints of cherry and berry pie. A peppery/oak Finnish. Smooth and tasty but very filling.

  December 19, 2011 - Tasted blind. This was unmistakably Chilean from the get go.
  Big old world funky nose of straw and brett clay and eucalyptus.
  Red color and notes of red fruits dried cherry, mold, and baking spice.
  Also a white pepper play that was very obvious just befor the drying chewy finish.
  Much more character and personality than you could ever get from CA for this price!

  January 17, 2009 - No specific notes, but we both liked it. Quite herbaceous, lots of bell pepper. Good fruit. Interesting.

  September 15, 2008 - Very nice cab. Lots of black currant, cherry. Fruit forward, and some bell pepper - in a nice way. Very full bodied with some nice balancing acidity to keep from being jammy.
