A little funky and murky at first, but airing reveals meaty, leathery aromas. The palate is solid and shows good balance, while the flavors of berry and cherry fruit carry an herbal element. Finishes mildly peppery and bitter, but also floral and spicy.——M.S.(12/1/2010)—— 87

One of the more perfumed Chilean red wines you’re likely to encounter. The Viognier and Grenache bring a floral, bouncy element, while the Syrah contributes smoky accents, chocolate and power. An interesting Rhone-style blend with its own alluring character.——M.S.(3/1/2008)—— 89
