Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tobacco, licorice, green herb and molasses aromas lead to a juicy, tight palate with black fruit flavors, spice and herbal notes. Solid and fairly long on the finish, with mild blackberry and prune flavors.

Veramonte Cabernet Sauvignon - 2009

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Even after 14 months in French oak, this wine shows a lot of fruit. Black cherries abound on the nose and palate, accented by mocha, dried spices and a just a hint of herbaceousness. The plush mouthfeel ends in a velvety, herbally complex finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Heavy aromas of burnt leaves, rubber and compost overshadow any berry fruit notes, while the palate is creamy in feel, with basic flavors of spiced, earthy cherry and berry. Fairly oaky on the finish and overall a step back in quality from previous vintages.

Veramonte Pinot Noir - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Plump and soft, this easygoing Cab delivers slightly weedy, cassis-laden fruit in an accessible format. Finishes with some plum notes but also black tea leaves. A nice weekday wine that will pair perfectly with burgers or steak.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dense and chocolaty, with lots of cassis fruit flavors to back it up. The mouthfeel isn’t quite as rich as the Merlot’s, but it boasts the same soft tannins and crisp acidity on the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smooth and ripe, with as much gusto as one could expect from a $10 red. The nose is full of ripe berries and chocolate, while the juicy palate breathes black cherry, plum and a spot of raisin. Finishes nicely, with an emphasis on fudge and coffee.

Bright in the glass, with a ruby tint. The nose offers good berry fruit and some plum, while the palate is basic and pure, with mild tannins and round fruit. Simple yet satisfying.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark in color, but not huge or saturated. There’s more meat on the bones of this Pinot than many Chilean efforts, and it smells of cherry, tree bark and some chocolate. Overall it’s fairly fresh, full and pretty.

Veramonte Pinot Noir - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is true Casablanca Valley Sauvignon Blanc from one of the pioneers in the region. It hits with piercing, almost sweaty aromas of citrus, celery and nettles, and that nose yields to grassy and tropical flavors that are intense, balanced and slightly complex. A terroir wine for $11? Not bad at all.

Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc - 2007

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Berry and plum aromas offer a rousing opening that sets up lively red-fruit flavors. In true Casablanca style, the wine emphasizes snappy, medium-strength berry and cherry flavors, and then backs it all up with tasty but not overwhelming oak notes. Ripe, stylish and ready.
