Vinedos Calcu, Carmenere Gran Reserva, Colchagua Valley, Chile, 2019 {sustainable} 90% Carmenere, 8% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc BLACKBERRY, DARK CHOCOLATE, VIOLETS, GRANITE Chile’s signature grape, Carmenere, is a unique one. It has a reputation for being peppery, much like its parent grape Cabernet Franc, but here those qualities are subtle and far overshadowed by leathery, dark fruit flavors. The Calcu estate is nestled between two small villages, Marchigüe and La Estrella, in the Colchagua Valley where the wines benefit greatly from a terroir rich in granite and clay. Truly a refined example of Carménère, check it out! Serving Suggestion: Empanadas de Pino (Chilean-style beef empanadas). Grilled tofu steaks topped with fresh chimichurri and thinly sliced chili peppers.
