This was probably my favorite amongst the wines tried during the Wines of Chile Blogger event. It was well balanced, crisp, fruity with mineral tastes and had a nice aftertaste.

Thumbs Up 4-25-2010
This was also one of my favorites at the Bordeaux Matchmaking event. This one retails around $20. While it's been a couple days since I tasted this, I recall the wine had nice supple tannins, the classic earthy Bordeaux aroma along with some vanilla and oak.

Tried this at Bordeaux Matchmaking in Chicago. I thought this was one of the better wines of the night. A great value at the price point and I may pick this up again.
