Toasty, rich and spicy on the nose, with big black fruit aromas, a dusting of raw oak and smoked meat. It’s full, round and lush in the mouth, with ripe flavors of blackberry and oak but nothing candied, faux or cheap tasting. Smooth, full and chocolaty on the finish; excellent overall for $11 Merlot.

Viña Bisquertt 2008 La Joya Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
-
$13
Liberally oaked, thus there’s sawdust and spice to accent the berry fruit aromas. Tannic and full-bodied, and tasting of roasted black fruits with a generous sprinkling of baking spices. Chunky, tannic and arguably a little saucy/soupy on the finish. Best if you like big, roasted, chubby wines.
