Intense purple red color. It has a complex nose, with red and black fruit such as maqui berry and spices such as red pepper, vanilla and dill. The palate is wide, of medium acidity and round tannins with fruit such as sarsaparilla and maqui berry. Medium long finish.
Ideal for dishes such as rabbit roulade with mint and apricot or four-cheese pasta with truffles with grated truffles.
James Suckling: 94 Points
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. Always a great buy for the price. Drink or hold.

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.
