Errazuriz Kai Carménère 2015
Valle de Aconcagua, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThe ’15 Kai is all Aconcagua Valley and a 95/5 mix of carménère and syrah that tops out at 14 degrees alcohol. Each block of wine is aged separately and spends 22 months in French oak, of which 70 percent is new. It was a solid year; warm and dry conditions created healthy vines and ripe grapes. In the end, Kai, an Errazuriz ‘Icon’ label, presents an intense version of spicy black and red fruit aromas followed by blueberries, pepper, bay leaf and very polished sweet tannins with roasted coffee and peppery leaf notes in the finish. A stylish one-of-a-kind red that holds the torch up high for carménère. The vines are over 35 years old, planted to sandy loam soils that are half stones. It should age effortlessly for ten years, but you can serve it now with pork.Tasted: 24 December 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $169.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
