Pure but subdued scents of dark raspberry, pepper, chocolate and menthol. Fine-grained, savory and fresh; an alluring, delineated midweight with spicy and floral high notes to its raspberry and currant fruit flavors. The peppery quality carries through the wine and perks up the finish. The tannins are firm but harmonious. This impeccably balanced, structured wine finishes with firm but harmonious tannins and subtly palate-staining spicy length. - Stephen Tanzer\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (July 2017), 92 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chakana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948941602863,"sku":"AR0EE881251BLM","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/chakana_98d37766-3a98-4274-8382-34aa7ea38c0b.jpg?v=1771485551","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/chakana-estate-red-mendoza-2015","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
