Tomato leaf, red bell pepper and dry spice aromas overrun the fruit, and in the mouth it’s rather tart and acidic for the grape type. Flavors of cherry tomato, red plum and green herbs are good but sharp, while the finish features oak in the form of vanilla. More fresh and tart than most Carmeneres.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 86

Nicely integrated, with sweet spice, mint, raspberry and aged tobacco notes. Silky finish. Well done. Drink now. 3,000 cases made.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Rapel / Rapel Valley Select to Add

Never really gets off the starting blocks. Challenged aromas with generic, hot cherry flavors doesn’t amount to much these days. Shows both berry tartness and weight.——M.S.(9/1/2008)—— 81
