D. Bosler Birdsnest Pinot Noir 2009

A young Pinot Noir from Casablanca Valley in Chile, enjoyed at Black Mountain Wine House along with their house panini. The bottle was a nice surprise: spicy nose and a fairly complex taste, going far beyond your standard pinot red fruit. Floral notes, caramel, blackberry, medium body.
Great value, particularly at retail price.

32$ @ Black Mountain, 10$ retail, 73 points

Soft and fresh with a taste of black fruits and a smokey fiinish. Very complex and a great value for its price.

Reserva Especial Sibaris Undurraga Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Chile

This Sibaris was a fantastic bottle that I bought for about USD$30.00 in Medellin. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys new world Cabernets. Chilean Cabernets are in my experience mostly very heavy dark wines but this one was lighter, almost playful with a lot of complexity.

The nose has black currant, oak wood, soil and minerals. The taste is rather dry with hints of pepper, green peppers, plums and cherry. The color is light for a Cabernet. It has a very gentle middle and finish. This wine is easy to drink and could go well with meats or spicy foods.
