The 2021 Red Blend Apalta is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 10% Carménére, 7% Cabernet Franc and 6% Syrah from Apalta, Colchagua, and was aged in used barrels. An intense purple in color. The attractive nose offers plum jam, pink pepper and hints of cinnamon. In the mouth, it's both opulent and juicy with finely grained tannins. The fairly concentrated palate flows expansively before the easygoing, lingering finish. A ripe red given the cool year.
