This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Petite Verdot and Cabernet Franc from Chile.  Ruby in color with a purple core, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is dusty with black cherries and the slightest green tobacco.  Juicy, jellied texture.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, tart cherries which give way to black cherry fruit.  Moderate finish.  This took about 30 minutes to open.  it drinks nicely on its own and will work with many foods.  A nice choice for Burgers or Pizza.  Drink over the next five years.

If tasting completely blind I would have guessed New Zealand SB and not Chile.  Green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is crisp with tropical fruits (Gooseberries) with a touch of lime citrus.  Medium bodied.  Crisp acidity.  Nice oily texture.  A bit chalky on the finish.  This is an easy drinking Sauvignon Blanc that is nice on its own and would go well with lighter foods or soft cheeses.  Drink over the next year or so.

This is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec and the remainder Petite Verdot and Merlot.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, graphite, plums, and char.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this seems fully mature but not showing much age past that.  Lovely texture.  Flavors of cassis and plums with underlying earthiness and char.  Long finish.  This should stay at this level and drink well for another ten to fifteen years.  Nice on its own, this will work with many foods (not seafood).  Brisket would work well.
