"Medium red. Spicy red berry and cherry scents, with a subtle note of smoked meat. A bit dry, with bitter cherry and redcurrant flavors and good grip. The smoky quality lingers on the gently firm, dusty finish. I'd have liked a bit more pliancy." 87 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 09
" little angular on the nose, but there’s no question about its identity. This wine smells and tastes like true Pinot Noir; it’s ripe and has nice flow, with flavors of red plum, spiced black cherry and peppercorn. Is it Burgundy, Oregon or anything like that? Maybe a little, but for the most part it has a pure Chilean DNA and a fair selling price." 87 points - Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2009 |
