This is a new entry from Chile, which blends three-quarters Cab with Merlot to fine results. There’s a veneer of toasty oak on the solid nose, which features black cherry at the base. The fruit is bright and berry-driven, while chocolate and refreshing acids work the finish. A step up from the so-called “value blend.” Imported by Cellar Door by Pacific Wine Partners.

Fresh and fruity, with a nice Casablanca green character that’s much like good asparagus. Tangy and citrusy in the mouth, which is tight and zingy in terms of feel. Best if well chilled. Imported by Cellar Door by Pacific Wine Partners.
