about this wine:
"Apalta vineyards, Colchagua Valley...deep and intesne red purple color. Complex and explosive nose of red fruits, blackberries, black cherry and raspberry, mixed with toasted notes of vanilla, cedar, black chocolate, and coffee. On the palate, the wine shows density, volume, concentration, and fullness. Firm, round tannis give the Clos Apalta a well-structures character, highlighting the fine smooth texture of the fruit. The end palate is long, with velvety, silky highlights predominating on the finish."

A gorgeous wine that deftly balances polished cassis, dark cherry reduction and blueberry notes on a compact frame. This is structured, with silky tannins lining the long finish that lingers on with hints of apple wood, spice box and underbrush. Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2014 through 2020. -NW
