DATA

Pour Ma Gueule (PMG) – a French term literally meaning ‘for my mouth’ used for the wines winemakers stow away for family and friends – is a blend from Chile’s southern soul-filled vineyards.

Its grapes are harvested from dry-farmed, old-vines in the red granite, coastal hills of the historic Itata Valley.

 

Wine Advocate

A red you want to buy by the case, one of those thirst wines is the 2015 Pour Ma Gueule. It is a complex blend from Cauquenes (Maule) and Itata, with some 50% Cinsault and one-third Carignan, plus small amounts of Syrah, País and Malbec from old, dry-farmed vineyards. The grapes were separately harvested, fermented and aged in stainless steel and concrete vats and then were blended. It's juicy, ripe and balanced, terribly tasty, not terribly complex but greatly satisfying. All the varieties are nicely assembled, easy but not banal, with the granite minerality in the palate, which is so difficult to find in wines and even more so at this price level.

A bargain! 26660 bottles were filled in April 2016.

TATSING AD HOC

Visual.- Dark ruby color with violet highlights, bright with tears on the glass. Good natural cork.

Aroma.- Reductive aromas at the beggining. Pronounced fruit with aromas of red berry, gooseberry, black cherry, black pepper, and a hint of violet. Clean and in actual evolution.

Palate.- Medium+ acidity, medium tannins and alcohol. Dry and stony palate with fresh black and red fruit as black cherry, revealing a full bodied wine. This wine opens generously to become silky in a terroir texture (sandy). 

It is round and velvety with good balance at the end.
