Medium ruby color, aromatic nose of barnyard, plum, earth, cherries, eucalyptus. Medium full body, lively acid and medium hard tannins. Flavorful palate of spice, dark fruit, plum, tobacco and some red fruit. Long finish. Good fruit, menthol flavors, unique light red. Very nice.

A great value wine! I really liked it. Plenty of structure, lots of smoke on the nose along with blackberry and asparagus. Taste was nice and smooth...well balanced and luscious. Finish was somewhat short. Overall a great little wine that I will buy again.

Pleasant surprise considering the price and some of the ratings. A lot of mineral notes (pencil shavings--as previous taster commented) on the nose and palate, fairly smooth tannins with great earthly and peppery flavors. Good value--will buy again.

Herbal nose followed by mostly herbal and lead pencial palate, with an abrupt finish. Pleasantly surprised given the low WS rating. These aare the qualities, after all, I would expect of a Chilean Cab.
