Lot 18/The Tasting Room, $16.24/bottle
Aaron: Sadly Teri and I disagree on this wine (which means we probably won’t get another one). I put this in the win column for Lot 18 because the leather, blackberry, and almond nose was fascinating. I also enjoyed the smooth flavor with lingering tannins. This was a bit minerally with porace rocks and granite but I felt it had enough complexity to justify a flavor I’m not usually a huge fan of. 91 points
Teri: With a yeasty-berry smell and flavors of black pepper, currant and cedar this was not my favorite flavor profile. I disliked the abundance of hearty tannins (almost bitter and chalky) and a slight bite on the finish. This one leans more towards mineral and woodsy flavors vs. fruit. The flavors are reflective of the Chilean soil but this one is not a top pick for me. 86 points
