Almaviva Puente Alto Red Blend
Chile
A partnership between the Rothschild family and Concha y Toro, blend of 72% Cab Sauv, 19% Carmenere, 6% Cab Franc & 3% Petit Verdot. Deep Ruby with a powerhouse of fruit, herbs and spice aromas. On the palate flavors of blackberry, currants and ripe black cherry with notes of cacao, licorice, tobacco and cedar. Fine tannins, well balanced, long finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Still young give this one a few years! Very Nice!

captivating blend by winemaker Michel Friou, the 2018 Almaviva Red Wine blends 72% Cabernet Sauvignon with 19% Carmenère, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Weighing in at 14.9% alcohol, the wine was aged for eighteen months in French oak (73% new) before bottling, a touch more Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch less Carmenère than the ’17 bottling. Right away the allure of green bell pepper notes entice alongside Turkish coffee, creme de cassis and blueberry compote that all take shape in the glass. The palate is dense and plush but shows a sterling veil of tension that runs through the core of the wine. Layers of anise, green bell pepper, blackberry cordial, and Black Forest Cake all parade on the palate. Absolutely gorgeous to consume in its youth, this really needs a two hour decant fully evolve if you can’t hold back from enjoying this gorgeous wine. Drink 2022-2040- 97
