This delivers a solid beam of raspberry fruit, along with suave vanilla, toast and mineral notes. Fleshy and ripe through the finish. Delicious. Drink now through 2006. 25,000 cases made. -JM

Begins with a touch of sawdust, but that quickly morphs into cinnamon and spice. Of course, there’s bulky dark fruit to offset it. In the mouth, we’re talking black plum and berry fruit in spades, while the feel is tight and right, with serious tannins. A generous wine, one that represents Chile and Colchagua positively.
