This rather muscular red opens with elegance and grace, offering peppery floral details that meld with baking spice, sage and vanilla bean aromas before giving way to a concentrated core of mineral-accented berry and damson plum flavors that build richness as they make their way to the finish line, stretching out around firming tannins and a late echo of coffee bean. Carmenere and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2034. 160,000 cases made, 2,300 cases imported.

The 2021 vintage of this opulent red from the renowned Apalta Valley shows freshness and lots of fruit. A nose of baked berries brings to mind delicious notes of cranberry pie. Flavors of mulberries, blackberries and raspberries merge with integrated wood spices and Carmenère’s signature notes of herbs in the background. The wine’s muscular structure suggests it will age wonderfully.
