Dark purple in the glass. The nose presents notes of spice, plum jam, cigar box and bay leaf. With good body, polished tannins and moderate freshness, the flow is intense and expansive while the finish is fruity. A mellow red for Chile to suit universal tastes.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: A trace of tarragon lends a slight herbal tinge to this red, which offers a wealth of red currant and linzer torte flavors on a plush, polished frame. Reveals hints of Earl Grey that chime in around fine, mineral-laced tannins.

• Wine Enthusiast: This one comes from vineyards in Peumo within the Cachapoal Valley, a land known for its delicious Carmnre. The nose delivers dried herbs, licorice and baking spices over a bouquet of berries. Well structured, it’s flavorful with notes of ripe blackberry and plum. Moderate acidity is enough to freshen up the finish while hints of eucalyptus linger in the aftertaste. It’s full bodied and enjoyable.
