Escudo Rojo 2008
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileIn 2008 Escudo Rojo is a mix of mostly Maipo fruit and four grape varieties: cabernet sauvignon (40%), carmenère (37%), syrah (18%) and cabernet franc (5%). Medium dark with an intense nose of black raspberry flecked with bits of spice and tobacco. The latest vintage shows more elegance and style than previous years and no strong leafy characters. Ripe black cherries and toasted oak mark its long mid-palate and finish. Roast lamb is the ticket here or serve with a favourite aged, hard cheese.Tasted: 08 July 2010Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $18.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
