Viñedos Calcu, Carménère Reserva Especial, Colchagua Valley, Chile, 2015
{sustainable} 90% Carménère, 8% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc

BLACKBERRY, DARK CHOCOLATE, VIOLETS, GRANITE

Chile’s signature grape, Carménère, 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. Give this Carménère a try, it may be your new favorite!
Serving Suggestion: Empanadas de Pino (Chilean-style beef empanadas). Grilled tofu steaks topped with fresh chimichurri and thinly sliced chili peppers.
