Errazuriz Max Reserva Single Vineyard Carmenére 2009
Valle de Aconcagua, Region de Aconcagua, Chile1This is an outstanding carmenère which speaks to what is possible when care is taken. We love the polish and weight the sweet spice and milk chocolate that entices followed by plenty of peppery black fruit and a wonderful, long smooth palate. The finish is like a long sunset with bits of dried tomatoes, spice, tobacco and sweet ripe tannins. The grapes for come from Max V planted in 1992 in the Valle de Aconcagua and are aged in 85% French and 15% American oak barrels, 30% of which were new.
