A succulent, serious and well-weighted rosé made of grenache (blanc, gris and noir), cinsault, syrah and clairette. Aromas of small berries, apricots and mild spices. Medium-bodied with a dense core and texture at the center. There is volume and purity here, with a precise finish. Refreshing. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

This deep ruby Chilean Carmenère has a very fragrant nose of blackberry, fresh dug earth, and notes of tar, tobacco, and kitchen spices. It is very silky, balanced, and dry on the palate, with a medium-plus body and medium acidity. Slightly concentrated and juicy. It is very approachable. I found flavors of blackberry, rhubarb, coffee, toasty oak, and black olive. It closes with fine-grained tannins and a dry long finish.

Zesty yet smooth and well-knit, this blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay delivers aromas of brioche, cinnamon-dusted peach and apricot, lemon, and a hint of flint along with flavors of more stone fruit, poached pear, and lemon bar, plus a dash of thyme and Marcona almond on the finish
