You have here a quintessential New World Cabernet. Purple-ruby in colour, it shows an earthy, tobacco and blackcurrant nose with a cedary note. Medium-bodied and dry, spicy flavours of cassis and dark chocolate fill the mouth finishing with ripe tannins.
Chilean Carménère, long thought to be Merlot, is a fascinating grape worth discovering. This bold, full-bodied wine is dense purple in colour with a nose of plums and vanilla oak. Richly extracted flavours of blackcurrants backed by spicy oak fill the palate. The mouthfeel is soft and the flavour lingering. It costs a bottle. Match it with rich meat dishes.
This wine is a different take on Syrah than you’ve tried from the Rhône or Barossa; dense purple in colour, it has a smoky, herbal, blackberry nose. It’s full-bodied and fruity but dry and savoury with white pepper, herbal blackberry flavours.
This Syrah is dense purple in colour with a spicy nose of blackcurrants backed by vanilla oak. The wine is full-bodied and dry with flavours of blackcurrant and dark plum carried on a lively spine of acidity that fill the palate.
Bright and layered aromas and flavours of plum, blackberry, liquorice, tar, earth, savoury herbs and mineral, a tight core and long fresh finish. A field blend of Pais, Carménère, Carignan, Malbec and Syrah.
A superb Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon with textbook aromas of blackberry, cassis, cherry, mint, vanilla, cocoa, tar and smoke. Concentrated, the tannins are plush and the finale long with just the right amount of warmth. Drink over the next 5 years. Steak all the way with this wine!
