Chronos Carpo 2022
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCarpo gets its name from the Greek goddess of fruitfulness, but it gets its style from winemaker Lynzee Schatz, who selects the grapes for the blend at peak ripeness. Considering the vintage vagaries, the cuvée is blended after a rigourous barrel selection. In 2022, it worked out to be a 30/25/20/15/10 mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, cabernet franc, and malbec. Schatz is known for her light hands in the winery, leaving her wines to express their origins, not their maker. Look for an attractive red that opens with black cherry compote and raspberry jam. The palate is round and soft, and the tannins are rich but with no rough edges. The finish is medium long and dry in an excellent young red wine. No rush to drink this before 2027 and beyond. Good value.Tasted: 26 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $34.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
