A broad-shouldered wine, with lots of coffee and bacony toast up front, followed by dark plum, prune, cocoa and loam notes. Has a bit of a chewy feel, but there's plenty of flesh. Brief cellaring should tame this. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2010. 1,700 cases made.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Maipo / Maipo Valley Select to Add

Very aggressive on the nose, with penetrating aromas of menthol, olive and herbal fruit. That gentle but obvious herbal character persists on the palate, where cassis and plum flavors never come across as sweet or expressive. Finishes woody, with a touch of chocolate, while the mouthfeel is a bit grabby and tannic.——M.S.(3/1/2008)—— 86
