2018 Santa Ema Cabernet Sauvignon


 One more great wine from South America. This time from Chile. Cherry, black currant, vanilla, tobacco, oak in the nose and taste. Perfectly balanced.

Was great with Sockeye salmon grilled on a cedar plank.

2021 Les Portes Rosé


 Sometimes Bordeaux Rosé is good. Not the case here. Drinkable, but that's about it. Feels cheap and watery. Was thinking about trying red of the same year, no way.

2018 UKO (Valle de Uco) Cabernet Sauvignon


 Absolutely wonderful. Multiple berries in the nose and taste. I can feel black currant, a hint of red currant, a hint of sour cherry. But there is much more! Also some buttery hint in the finish.

Was great with sockeye salmon grilled on a cedar plank.

2021 Artea

 


Very good Rosé. Nose of the summer meadow on a hot day. Some citrusy notes in the taste. Well rounded wine.

Was great with veal steak.

2021 Pierre Moulin Grenache Rosé


 Typical Grenache. Well, it's Rosé, but still Grenache. Some hints of berries, good finish.

Was very good with baked haddock.
