Solid, with tobacco, black cherry, currant and cedar notes that stay persistent on the focused finish. Drink now through 2009. 660 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Maule / Maule Valley Select to Add

Dark as night, with aromas of brick dust, kirsch and black fruit. Don’t expect anything like French Cab Franc from this Chilean monster. It’s huge and fully directed toward blackberry and cassis. Which means the herbal, leafy, tobacco notes common to CF are simply not present here. But if you like yours big and burly, with crusty dark fruit, then this is your ticket.——M.S.(5/1/2009)—— 90
