Vineyard: Los Guindos
Maipo Valley, Chile

Deep dark cherry maroon that still shimmers & shines. Inhale and there’s cherry, pomegranate, raspberry, blackberry, red currants, and a “light breeze of cherry bubblegum that turns into an earthy goodness that grounds all. Sip and there’s all of the scents along with a green tomato spark & a bit more of the red currant that blends together into a little sizzle, touch butterfly lilac exhale on the back of my tongue that flutters in and out, overtime it’s a bit more dried plums, raisins, cherries & mission figs, and those raspberries are still here and oh so bright. This is one friendly smooth operator that’s also a bit comfy rustic.
Pairs with Cheez-Its: perfectly mouth watering
Mr. Skwara had an eye opening experience on a family trip outside of Chile. While dining out he decided to try a wine not from his homeland only to be questioned by his brother “why?”. This is the part that shocked me, the waiter piped up and “told the whole table that I wanted to choose a wine with more charm than the Chilean ones, which had little personality. We all stared, open-mouthed, especially my mom.” Man, either that dude had some massive “cojones” or was an idiot with no tact. It did start a drive in Fred to let the world know that Chile is special, full of surprises, and can make wine that is full of expression which is very much seen in their “Siete Perros” project since they use “no oak”. These grapes sing & shine baby, and believe me this little bulldog (Humphrey) is full of charm. Would love to see that opinionated/biased waiter try this wine and have to humbly eat his words. 🍷
