Tacama Pisco Puro Quebranta
- $45
An aromatic pisco, with a luscious cherry-almond fragrance. At first, the spirit is sweet and lightly fruity, then clove, ginger and black pepper notes spark up in the middle, and it finishes lightly floral and spicy. Expect a touch of alcohol burn, since this is distilled to 88 proof, but overall a beautiful, balanced and complex spirit.

Tacama Pisco Albilla
- $22
Look for floral, vanilla, and ripe apple notes in the fragrance. The flavor is reminiscent of banana cream pie, with some coconut and faint floral notes on the finish. Very smooth and warm.

Tacama Pisco Quebranta

Another aromatic pisco from Vina Tacama, with a pretty fragrance reminiscent of pears, bananas, and lily-of-the-valley. This is a full-flavored pisco with banana and creamy vanilla notes. Recommended for straight-up sipping.

Tacama Pisco Acholado
- $22
The sugary scent is reminiscent of grape soda, but the flavor is bold and grappa-like, with sweet notes up front and a pleasingly astringent finish.

Tacama 2008 Sinfonía Tannat-Malbec-Petit Verdot Red (Ica)
- $20
Earthy, warm and ripe on the bouquet, with a baked element but also fruit that holds its form. Full but not overdone in the mouth, with restrained berry, plum and caramel flavors. Not pushy; subdued on the finish. Petit Verdot, Malbec and Tannat.

Tacama 2008 Don Manuel Tannat (Ica)
- $30
Concentrated and serious, but still a rustic, tough driller of a Tannat. Smells like wild herbs, plum and lemony oak, then it’s tight and tannic in the mouth. Tastes minerally and bricky, with black cherry, lemon drop and bitter chocolate. Crusty on the finish, where the oak is pronounced. Needs food; might soften in a few years.

Tacama 2008 Halcón de la Viña Malbec (Ica)
- $15
Roasted and earthy smelling, with a pinch of iodine and even a whiff of bacon or ham. Rich, full and a touch sticky on the tongue, with baked berry and chocolate flavors. Mellow and sweet on the back end. 100% Malbec.

Tacama 2008 Quantum Petit Verdot (Ica)
- $20
Heavy on the bouquet, with baked, rustic black fruit aromas that turn cheesy and leathery with airing. Chunky but layered in the mouth, with thick, ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors. Sweet, lightly herbal and heavy on the finish.
