Restaurant Wine — Issue 111 This wine is ...exceptional ...very complex, full bodied wine with toasty, smoky overtones, rich fruitiness (black currant, cherry), and a long finish. Austral spectator —2006 Edition Intense red tending towards black. Nose of intensity and quality, with a handful of notes of spices, red fruits, oak barrels and minty and anise-like herbs. The elegant mouth brings together in a whole the aromatic part with emphasis on the vanilla of the wood. After the mid palate it doesn't drop off but calms down, withdrawing very nicely and in good order. " Deep, very honest and elegant, smooth finish" (SK); "its body is medium, and its taste very pleasant" (DLR).   One of the top 70 wines in South America beverage dynamics —September/October, 2006 "Super-dark purple, this wine has a moderately full bouquet of ripe, rich black cherry aromas and a touch of peppery spice; soft, round and full on the palate with a velvety mouthfeel; ripe dark berry flavors and a long, lush finish." 89 Points Wine Enthusiast —August, 2006 "Ruby in color, with attractive mint, leather and black-fruit aromas. Like all Andeluna reds, this Cab is ripe and lush; the black cherry, raspberry and chocolate flavors satisfy on their way to a toasted smooth finish." 88 Points- Best Buy Competitions - Silver medal Winner 2006 Hilton Head International Judging and Competition Wine Spectator — May 15, 2006 "Solid black cherry and currant fruit with a firm coating of toast and coffee." 85 Points The Washington Post —November 30, 2005 This wine is a "....knockout". This lush cabernet displays generous flavors of fig, baked cherry and chocolate supported by robust tannins on the finish. It has the complexity to accompany a classic roast of lamb or herb-rubbed roast pork. Wine Enthusiast —November 15, 2006 Ruby in color, with attractive mint, leather and black-fruit aromas. Like all Andeluna reds, which are made by the talented Silvio Alberto, it is ripe and lush; the black cherry, raspberry and chocolate flavors satisfy on their way to a toasted, smooth finish. Cushy and right for the times, and a bargain given that we're talking Cabernet Sauvignon. Best Buys for the Penny Wise The Washington Post —November 30, 2005 Near-great cabernets at $12 are rare. Dark, concentrated and deeply flavored, this shows the complexity of a much more expensive wine.
