TaraoPakay 2010
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileTaraoPakay developed by winemaker Ed Flaherty, means 'Hidden Tree' in quechua and is the Tarapaca label that gets the finest cabernet sauvignon and syrah grapes from Isla de Maipo. It was launched in 2007 but no wine was made in 2009. Cherries, blueberries and smoky briary bay leaf notes preview a rich, red wine. More smoky, peppery black fruit with tobacco and dried herbs mark the palate and finish. Long and rich this huge red wine will benefit from a decade in bottle.Tasted: 19 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $69.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Grady Wine Marketing |
