Perez Cruz Limited Edition Cot 2020
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileVina Perez Cruz is a family-owned winery in the Alto Maipo, with 250 hectares under vine. This cot (malbec) comes from their Liguai Estate, in the Maipo Andes between 440-520m, and in rocky alluvial / colluvial soils. After a 48 hour cold maceration, this fermented over a week in stainless, with 2 weeks' skin contact, before being transferred to 225L French barrels for 14 months' aging. Ripe and plush with wild cassis, herbal blackberries, branch, and mustard seed, this full-bodied red holds its freshness against the density of the fruit. Tannins are soft and comforting, leading this to a dark chocolate and wild mint laced finish. Quite different from Argentinean malbec, and French côt, and worth exploring, ideally with smoked ribs or root veg.Tasted: 10 November 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Chile | $21.00 | 750ml | Chile (CDN) |
