  Had this and it was mind blowing! Felt like I was drinking Opus or late 90s Mondavi Reserve. Amazing wine, especially for the price...grassy, blackberry and black current, wet moss...nice accents of acidity and tartness.

  My wedding wine 5 years later...thought it would be past its peak but it has aged nicely...still feminine with good balance and fruit...a little bit of bell pepper which comes with carmenere...otherwise sweet cherry and hints of dark fruit

  Dense and almost opaque with crimson hue, showing aromas of dark plum, blackberry, chocolate and hints of herbaceous and pepper notes.
  Supple and soft on palate, with structure slowly build up. Still holding well, medium finish with soft grippy tannins.
  Good quality and value at this price point

  This was a easy drinking wine that would prompt me to buy more if, it were still available. On the nose, herbs, earth and berries. On the pallet a creamy blueberry and ripe plum shake. This is a wine that can be flabby but not this wine. I enjoyed it.
