Apalta Colchagua Carménère 2018

This wine has a fragrant nose of cassis, blackberry and licorice. A hint of black pepper also comes through. On the palate a large serving of dark fruit hits first, with sweet oak spice and a savory note of earth. The tannins are easy enough on the mouthfeel, but firm enough to serve a purpose at the table. The savory aspect lingers on the generous finish. — 4 years ago

Viña Almaviva S.A.

Almaviva Puente Alto Red Blend 2009

Wonderful Bourdeaux type blend from Chile. This is one of the top wines produced by this Country. It is a joint venture between Baron Phillipe Rothschild who also owns Mouton Rothschild in France; and Viña Concha y Toro from Chile.
The Wine maker, Michel Friou, is French with extensive experience including stints at Chateau Margaux and the other top Wine maker in Chile: Casa Lapostolle, which is owned by the Grand Marnier family in France. There he was in charge of blending their top Cuvée, Clos Apalta.
The 2009 Almaviva, is a powerful red which is well balanced with subtle hints of graphite, chocolate and tobacco. The fruity component reminds me of black cherries. Tannins are present but mild.

Massal 1945 Family Vineyards

Clos de Luz Carmenere 2016

9.0

A welcoming nose of ripe black fruits such as cassis and plum, dark chocolate, black tea leafs, and bell pepper. The palate is warm and deep, and velvety, with a taste echoing the nose. Polished tannins and long sweet finish. The bell pepper note might be a turn off for some, but I like it a lot here.
From vines dating back to 1945 that are genetically different (hence massal selection, as opposed to a single clone). Casa Lapostolle used to buy the grapes for the Clos Apalta bottling.

Veramonte

Primus The Blend Apalta Colchagua Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

This six-grape blend is as aromatic as one might expect from Carménère, PV, Merlot, Syrah and Cabs Franc and Sauvignon. There is much dark fruit on the nose, along with cigar box, leather, cedar and licorice. The palate is bold, too, with a complex flavor profile and tannins which are useful but not overpowering. — 4 years ago
