Primus The Blend Apalta Colchagua Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Central Valley, Chile
The blend pours up to a medium-dark garnet color. Aromas of cassis, tobacco and spice are up front on the nose, with a hint of bell pepper in the background. The fruit is juicy on the palate, with jammy black and red berries and a stout set of tannins. This wine was made for steak, the bigger the better.

Oct 21st, 2021This six-grape blend is as aromatic as one might expect from Carménère, PV, Merlot, Syrah and Cabs Franc and Sauvignon. There is much dark fruit on the nose, along with cigar box, leather, cedar and licorice. The palate is bold, too, with a complex flavor profile and tannins which are useful but not overpowering.

Bold wine for the price. Better after opening and decanting for the day. Tastes great with red meats or spicy food.

The reviews are wildly varied with this one. Fun! Yes, the nose is funky (iodine was a good description) but I kinda like it. Balance is good (not a fruit bomb), tannins are soft, finish is unobjectionable. Good for $15 at Costco!

Easy drinking, slightly cooked berry flavors. Biggest gripe would be slightly plain/unnuanced aroma
