Vina Apaltagua, Carmenere "Gran Reserva" Envero, Apalta Valley, Colchagua Valley, Chile 2018
93% Carmenere, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon ESPRESSO, BLACKBERRIES, ROASTED PEPPERS, OAKEN VANILLA With its origins in Carmenere vineyards planted more than sixty years ago, this robust and multifaceted cuvée demonstrates both the signature characteristics of the grape's distinctive personality and the finesse which the estate has encouraged through careful selection and judicious aging in large oak barrels. The result is an impressive pillar of coffee flavors scaled by wisps of toasty vanilla, dark chocolate and jalapeño. Serving Suggestion: "Bistec a lo Pobre" - Chilean sautéed steak on a bed of onions, topped with a fried egg (after all, this wine loves protein), and served with rustic peppery french fries.

Viñedos Calcu, Carménère Gran Reserva, Colchagua Valley, Chile, 2018
{sustainable} 90% Carménère, 8% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc BLACKBERRY, DARK CHOCOLATE, VIOLETS, GRANITE Chile’s signature grape, Carménère, is a unique one. It has a reputation for being peppery, much like its parent grape Cabernet Franc, but here those qualities are subtle and far overshadowed by leathery, dark fruit flavors. The Calcu estate is nestled between two small villages, Marchigüe and La Estrella, in the Colchagua Valley where the wines benefit greatly from a terroir rich in granite and clay. Give this Carménère a try, it may be your new favorite! Serving Suggestion: Empanadas de Pino (Chilean-style beef empanadas). Grilled tofu steaks topped with fresh chimichurri and thinly sliced chili peppers.6 in stock
