TASTING NOTES: This 100% un-oaked Carignan is hand harvested from a 60+ year old vineyard in the Maule region of Chile. The nose is bursting with notes of cherry, plum, rose petal, cinnamon, lavender and anise that lead to a bright palate of cassis and milk chocolate. The finish shows lush tannin of crushed, dried leaves with a well integrated acid backbone that is all tied together by cherry and white pepper spice.
