I wish I could fly off to Chile for a a few weeks.  With great fruit, good balance, and a bit of a bite from the tannin, I can only wonder what else the southern hemisphere has to offer.  As an aside, before I started vignettes I tried the flagship (available for export, that it) cab from Casa Lapostolle.  It was more than twice the price but only marginally better.  As an after-thought, the flavor this wine offers is unique and I don’t seem to have the vocabulary to describe it.  Chalk it up to terroir.
