Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A robust, approachable Colchagua blend built around the signature character of Carmenère — expect ripe dark fruit, a hint of green pepper, and earthy, smoky undertones from the supporting Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The Merlot softens the structure, lending a rounded, plummy mid-palate that makes this easy to enjoy without extended cellaring. It's a reliable, food-friendly everyday red that reflects the warm, consistent climate of the Colchagua Valley well.
