Having been to this winery years ago, it is fitting for my 13 th anniversary.
Red blackberry, black red berry, superbly balanced like, it would sit on a needle head perfectly.
When you can’t afford the Clos Apalta, this is a great show of quality winemaking.

The 2018 Le Petit Clos is a blend of 53% Carménère, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot from Apalta, Colchagua. Dark garnet in hue. The complex nose offers plum jam, hints of smoke, herbs and pepper against a backdrop of cigar box and graphite. A ripe, broad, full-bodied red with precise acidity and a juicy, grippy flow (quite accomplished for the style), it ends with an intense, ripe finish. A red to hold on to.
