2021 Vintage
Tasted: May 2022
Fruity, with black cherries, dark spices and hints of dried herbs and chili pepper. Medium-bodied and nicely chewy with some cherries, olives and black beans on the palate. Firm, direct and fruity. Drink now.
2019 Vintage
Tasted: May 2021
Redcurrant, blackberry, dried-herb, vanilla and sweet-tobacco aromas. It’s medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins. Juicy and rounded with a fresh finish. Drink now.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2021
Black cherry and berry aromas come with a blast of asphalt and a hint of eucalyptus. An oaky feeling, resiny palate is fairly thick and dense, while flavors of mint, chocolate, green herbs and berry fruits finish full in feel. Michael Schachner
2018 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2020
Attractive violets and blueberries with gently leafy notes. Very classic merlot nose. The palate has a succulent, juicy and vibrant feel with even-paced, youthful tannins and a fresh, lively finish. Drink now.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2019
Bright raspberries with blueberries, citrus rind and black olives. Very serious on the palate for a wine at this price point with racy acidity and firm tannins. Drink now.
2016 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2018
Berry and black plum aromas are herbaceous and suggest eucalyptus and hot pavement. A forward palate is edgy and grabby in feel, while highly herbal plum and berry flavors lean toward green. Saucy, herbal, soupy flavors dominate a thick finish. Michael Schachner
2016 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2018
A fresh and fruity merlot with spice, fresh herb and berry character. Medium body, fine tannins. Easy and bright. Drink now.
2014 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2016
Forced, candied aromas of chocolaty oak and herbal, slightly weedy berry fruits feed into a chunky, blocky, creamy palate with saucy berry flavors combined with minty, top-heavy oak. The finish tastes minty, lactic and oaky, with heat.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2014
Gritty, tarry, green aromas are punchy but herbaceous. This has a lively, juicy, grinding mouthfeel and herbal, peppery flavors of plum and berry. The finish is minty green in flavor, with an upright, lively feel.
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2012
Roasted black olive and rubber aromas set up a tannic and heavy palate with a lot of oak but not much fruit to back it up. Tastes like cinnamon and spice, with middling blackberry and bitterness on the finish.
2008 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2011
A bit rugged to start with, with solid berry and crusty dark aromatics. The palate has good size and cushion, with a creamy feel housing soft baked plum, herb, cough drop and vanilla flavors. A little woody on the finish, which fades with a modicum of grace. Neither edgy nor aggressive.
2009 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2011
Starts with hard, charred, overly oaky aromas. After some settling the wine remains somewhat scratchy and tannic, with flavors of raspberry, dry spice and wood resin. A little fiery and overoaked for standard Merlot.
2007 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2009
A little roasted and leafy smelling, which is typical for base-level Chilean Merlot. The palate is sweet almost to the brink of being candied, with plum and chocolate flavors running the show. Not much structure or tannic bite here, but as a whole it's tasty and gets better as it opens up.
2005 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2007
Here's a nice, well-made wine that reaches a bit farther than many in its class. You get some oak, cinnamon and cocoa on the nose, while the palate runs more toward herbal and natural than polished and sweet. A little warm and rugged but good in an unadulterated sense.
