Clos Apalta

Valle de Apalta Red Blend 2018

Full bodied. Good notes of spice and black fruit. Good legs and a dark red color staining the cork almost black. Long finish and great with fish and red meats. — 3 days ago

Montes Alpha M Santa Cruz Apalta Single Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

Must love roasted veggies. But this has shed some of its oak and youthful reduction. In a good spot with another 5-10 years of interest. — 3 months ago

Reserva Rapel Valley Carménère

I really enjoy a nice Carmenere having been introduced to this varietal on business trips to Chile. Typically a great complement to grilled meats, this somewhat young Carmenere (2020 vintage) did not disappoint! Ripe berries but with just a touch of a oeppery finish is a nice pairing with the flank steak, grilled Serranos, roasted sweet potatoes and chimichurri sauce we had for dinner. Not sure how much variety there is between vintages but the 2020 seems like a good one! — 6 months ago

Los Vascos Valle de Colchagua Cabernet Sauvignon 1697

1997(!) vintage. What a nice surprise. Still very much alive, a most pleasurable light Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. I would have never expected the entry level of Los Vascos to age this well. Abv. 12,5%. — a month ago

@DD Agreed! This took a week to settle in, I thought I was opening it young even after a 6h decant, and I was right. I'm not opening another until at least 2034-39. For real...

Fruity, tropical, smooth. Its not classified as sweet but almost feels such due to the fruitiness. Manages to have some body to it. Would gift well. — a month ago
