Wine Enthusiast
Cherry aromas come with a Christmas-like note of sweet spices. This Carmenere hails from a beautiful vineyard in the Apalta subregion of the Colchagua Valley. Ripe blueberries and blackberries are dusted with cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate. It features fine-grained tannins that give it a soft texture. The finish offers notes of cloves and eucalyptus.

Wine Spectator
This red's nose teeters on the edge of overly savory, with bay and tomato leaf tones leading the way, but the palate shows another side, with concentrated black cherry and cassis notes and a slight mineral and floral undertone lending some dimension. Ends with richly textured tannins and good length. Drink now through 2030.
