The bouquet of cassis, blackberry and controlled oak is welcoming, while the palate shows a spot of piercing acidity along with snappy black cherry, cassis and light olive flavors. This is a quintessential Chilean Cab with a hint of herbal character but also bold color, power and very good fruit quality. ——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 89

Slightly high-toned, with toast and briar notes supporting the cherry and plum fruit. A briary edge takes over on the medium-weight finish. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 16,000 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Rapel / Colchagua Valley Select to Add

Meaty and full on the nose, and convincing overall. The palate is a touch scratchy and raw, but it houses nice cassis, cherry and raspberry flavors. Some grit and bite to the finish is followed by flavors of caramel and sweetness, and overall the wine seems well made and natural. Drink now.——M.S.(7/1/2009)—— 87
