"The La Posta wines are selections of Laura Catena of Mendoza's famed Bodega Catena Zapata. It is a succulent offering, which leads with brown spice, smoked meat and roasted herbs followed with blackberries and black plums, leather and dark chocolate mocha. The palate follows suit - it is smoky, spicy and roasted and is saved from being overly brooding with bright fruit. A firmly structured wine with powdery tannins clinging to the finish. Pair with meat - grilled roasted or broiled or aged, harder cheeses."  July 2012

"The 2011 Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere, a blend of 70% and 30% respectively, has a ripe blackberry, bilberry and tea leaf bouquet with fine definition, although it takes time to unwind. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, layers of toasty black fruit and a well-defined, focused finish with blackberry, bay leaf and shellfish notes that linger in the mouth. Given the 60,000 case production, this is a well made Chilean red that offers mass appeal. Drink now-2016."  Neal Martin, December 2012
