WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Deep and inky black purple color. Expressive beautiful aromas of black fruit such as plums, blackberry and currents. Fresh, round and juicy palate with long finish and full of flavors of spices and toasty notes. Ideal for elaborate dishes, well-seasoned red meats and pastas.
TASTING NOTES:
A fresh, spicy carmenere loaded with fruit. Dark cherries, tobacco, pepper, spices and touches of paprika, dark olives, graphite and dark chocolate. Juicy and fruit-expressive on the palate with a medium to full body and fresh, fine-grained tannins. Flavorful and long.
- James Suckling, 94 pts.
This wine comes from vines in Apalta within the Colchagua Valley, one of Carménère’s favorite spots in Chile. It opens with an inviting nose of oak spices and blueberry jam. Concentrated black-fruit flavors are bright on the palate. The finish is long, with hints of vanilla.
