This blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre is savory, with opening notes of black raspberry pulled from the soil. Dried herbs, coffee, cherry liqueur, and sweet earth are integrated with a bright acidity and end notes of cedar.

Elegance is on display as the liquid flows gently across the palate, offering freshness and clarity of juicy blackberry. Black tea enters mid-point, adding length with plum skins and a pinch of black pepper.

Milk-chocolate textured, chewy tannins frame expressive notes of blackberry and tobacco leaf. Fruit is elegant, juicy; extracted and fresh rather than jammy. Teeth-coating, dusted sandalwood adds length and complexity to the finish

A very solid Sauvignon Blanc, this shows clearly recognizable varietal character without tipping over into pungency or turning too tart. Light herbal aromas work nicely with citrus fruit scents and flavors, with good acidity providing energy through the finish.

A dynamo, with wild strawberries, coffee, mocha, and blueberry pie. White pepper is subtle and tannins are sturdy, yet approachable.

A full-bodied Tempranillo with a fresh acid structure and a generous helping of blueberries. Armed with wet stone, garden herbs, and an inherent salinity, it is quite charming.

Honeysuckle and pear tart are rich and vibrant, poised for its unctuous mouthfeel. 100

Almonds, apple tart, and lemon blossom sidle with sizzling acidity and a clean, mineral finish.

Crystal clear notes of wet stone, lemon verbena and vanilla come across the palate like cut glass: linear and precise. But there’s more than texture; its zingy, reining in an inherent richness on the back end. Unique, daring, and incredibly intriguing.

Cherry cola, chocolate, and cinnamon-cranberry merge for a bright and shiny sipper, augmented by fine acidity and a wisp of white pepper.

Gold Medal

A deceptively well-structured and deeply flavored wine that starts out as charming, fruity and spicy on the nose, then tightens up with good, firm tannins on the palate. Dark cherry, blackberry, black olive and savory herb flavors. Drink now or hold.

The 2025 Chardonnay Estate comes from Barrancas, Maipú. Harvested early for a warm area, it opens with ripe citrus, a tropical touch, creamed corn and a lightly nutty character. Broad, creamy and delicately textured, it carries gentle fruit across the palate.

Bitter almond, warmed pecan, baked peach, date and salted caramel flavors are juicy and hedonistic in feel, while the dry edge of hazelnut husk and Brazil nut notes adds contrast and serious length. Drink now. 125 cases made, 25 cases imported.
