Rich, with layered complexity, this Chilean red blend shows off the ability of Chile’s Colchagua Valley to produce wines with both power and grace. Complex layers of red and black fruits combined with supple, smooth tannins make this an inviting winter red at the price. Perhaps the oak is a bit too dominant, leading me to give this one a "drink now" nod while the fruit is still bright and fresh.
