Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smells meaty and leathery, and later sort of gritty and acrid. The palate is reticent and dry, with short, raisiny flavors that have a brown sugar sweetness at the center. Not awful but baked and boring.

Terrapura Carmenère - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Muddled and earthy, with staunch aromas of leather, aged cheese and generic black fruits. The palate has life and kick, but the flavors are simple, dilute and herbal. Finishes with mild bitterness and black pepper.

Terrapura Cabernet Sauvignon - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Basically a clean, light, simple white with a flat/soft body and pithy, dry flavors of citrus and melon rind. Shows some bitterness on the finish along with a flash of white heat. Decent at best. Drink right away.

Terrapura Sauvignon Blanc - 2009

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rather empty on the nose, with weak, gaseous aromas. The palate is wet and watery, with tangy apple and lemon flavors. Dull and mostly hollow on the finish, with lasting tang. Run-of-the-mill Central Valley Chard.

Terrapura Chardonnay - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Heat, cherry and peppery, herbal aromas get it going, followed by murky, herbal flavors and a hard feel. The finish is quite herbal, and there’s more than an accent of tomato. Also a touch bitter. Run-of-the-mill Merlot at best.
