So I learned about this winery when I was working a fund raiser and truly sold a lot of their wine. Cono sur vineyards claims that the bicycle represents its commitment to the environment—a commitment that extends to using bikes rather than motor vehicles to travel across and between the vineyards. That’s good for the vines and these grapes are hand picked. I’ll drink to that!!!

A clear medium ruby clean color with lots of raspberry, plum and a spiciness on the nose. Dry, medium acidity with high tannins you would expect from a cab out of this region. 2014 was a great year for Chilean wines. Lots of plum, spice, cloves and vanilla but I also receive a degree of leather, meaty, farmyard, mushroom, wet forest floor and a bit of smoke. Love that type of interest. With a nice long finish, this wine is rated “very good” for a value of under $15.00. Pair this with ribs, pasta or Hungarian goulash….now I am hungry.
