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. — 3 years ago

Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Syrah 2012

Yummy full bodied Syrah with loads of dark fruit- blackberry plum cassis- a touch of spice and oak. Fruity and rich but not sweet. — 7 years ago

Apaltagua

Grial Apalta Valley Carménère 2009

A very good - but not great - carmenere. Terrific nose with lots of floral character. A bit hot on the palate - probably needed to be a few degrees cooler - but exhibits nice balance and a full mouthfeel. The finish is good but thins out a bit toward the end (which may also be related to the temperature). I suspect that the combination of a slightly lower serving temperature with a couple of more years in bottle might make this one sing. — 8 years ago

Incredible value cab! My new favorite boxed wine. — 9 years ago

Primus

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. — 3 years ago

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.
