Wine Description

Grown in the warm Andes foothills of the Colchagua valley, CA1 is a Carmenere of great character and power. This is a rich wine, with intense aromas of ripe red fruit. The round tannins, together with the lush concentration of fruit on the palate reveals to us the best expression of Carmenere grown at the foot of the Andes Mountains.

Acclaim
“This dark red shows an attractive beefy edge to the racy blackberry, kirsch and cassis fruit notes that cruise across the palate. Dense, with fresh acidity driving the smoke-tinged finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Jan 2013
“The 2010 Carmenere Andes CA1 has a comparatively refined nose for a Carmenere - those chocolate scents tempered, replacing them with lifted black fruit, wild hedgerow and a touch of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of crisp black fruit laced with white pepper…”
— Wine Advocate, Dec 2012
