A little gamey. There was some bright fruit right off the bat but it went away quickly and the rest, was, well, just ok. Maybe not a wine for ageing and 5 years is too long? I get that Chile is trying reeeaaaly hard to find their own "signature grape" like rivals "Argentinamalbecwine" but somehow I don't think that this is the answer....(at least not this wine).

Farmer's fizz is what the back label calls it! It certainly is a fun easy going bottle. Nothing serious but then who cares! Throw it all together and see what happens.

I don't drink enough champagne! This was great. Tiny bubbles, clean crispy taste of lemon and green apple. Bottle didn't last long, lol.

8/14/2013 8:20:00 AM - UpfromtheCellar, I enjoy reading your notes and also agree with many of the observations you make regarding wine and wine regions on your profile page. I drink a lot of wine from WA because it is available in abundance here but I prefer the wines of France and Italy, and the occasional Spanish wine not made in the "International Style" you refer to above. Anyway, it's a pleasure to read the tasting notes of those with similiar preferences and perspectives. zum Wohl!
