Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Hot, herbal and just not convincing. The palate is dilute and offers no midlevel, and the flavors are a strange mix of citrusy fruit and herbal weediness. Crisp and lean on the finish, and not bringing much to the table as a whole.

Asunto de Vino Merlot - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Basic but in the best possible way. The nose is familiar, clean and inviting due to licorice, sweet black fruit and smoky aromas. Fresh in the mouth, with bright acidity pumping up berry, cassis and herbal flavors. Composed on the finish, with a high level of competence.

Asunto de Vino Cabernet Sauvignon - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
High-toned, with artificial qualities of air freshener, perfume and candied fruit. The palate has a clacky feel, tannic bite and not a whole lot of flavor for Shiraz and Carmenère other than rudimentary berry and cherry. Finishes herbal as well.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Heavy, chunky and waxy, and really not that appealing. There’s more than enough baked notes, corn and mealy qualities. Not much else to say.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Nice and familiar for the variety, with common herbal, beefy, black fruit aromas followed by a chunky palate of blackberry, black cherry, mocha and herbs. Clean and solid on the finish, with 15% Cabernet in the blend.
