Wine of the week:
Arboleda
Colchagua Valley, Chile
Carmenere, 2007
~8,000 (gift) Chilean Pesos - $15.60 US
Tasted 12/5/2011

Nose: full nose, some pepper and ripe red fruit, but also alcohol
Taste: soft full mouth, unsweetened raspberry mouse, pepper kicks in after a minute, balanced but not very complex
Finish: fruits to pepper to dried fruits and tannin
Overall Impression: We had high expectations because it came very well packaged (fancy box and all); but good, pretty well balanced with moderate complexity. Aged just about right. Typical Chilean Carmenere.

Rating (70-100 scale): 91/92
Value (1-5 stars): NA

The blog is up - we must be leaving soon!

Despite the seemingly-millions of things both Zack and I have to complete before we can leave the states, we are getting more and more excited about our upcoming adventure! We seem to be making excuses to squeeze in time here and there for small preparations, and setting up this blog was our contribution today.

But don't hold your breath for more posts anytime soon. My qualifying exams are scheduled for Feb 15th, Zack will submit his Master's thesis by Feb 21st, and we will be getting on a plane for Chile on Feb 25th! After we have landed and re-settled our heads on our shoulders, you should be hearing from us.

Until then, we're glad you found our blog!

Anna and Zack
