Maipo Valley, Chile
GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Carménère
93% CAR-Men-YERR
Carménère is a bold red grape originally from Bordeaux but now thriving in Chile's warm climate. Carménère wines are known for their deep color, rich blackberry and plum flavors, distinctive peppery notes, and with smooth tannins.
Merlot
3% Mer-LO
It would be easier to detail where Merlot is not grown than vice-versa, as it is one of the most widely planted grapes in the world. Depending on the terroir, the style can vary quite a bit. Generally, Merlot is fleshy and more fruit driven and with less aggressive tannins than its oft more austere blending partner, Cabernet Sauvignon, which also makes it more accessible in its youth. The quality and character can vary from crowd pleasing sweet plummy fruit to extraordinary complex velvety texture of a great right bank Bordeaux.
Petit Verdot
4% Pe-TEET Ver-DO
Petit Verdot is a late-ripening variety grown around the world, but most famously in Bordeaux variety as a blending agent. When ripe, it can add concentration, color, tannin and flavor, particularly spice to blends along with good acidity.
