2024 Casa Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Carmenere, Apalta, Chile (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Carmenére boasts a complex nose with red and black fruit, spice, herbal, and vanilla aromas. Bright and vivid, it is harvested late in the season, producing a medium structure with juicy, round tannins.

Pair Carmenére with dishes such as rabbit or four-cheese pasta with grated truffles.

Blend: 85% Carmenere, 10% Syrah, 5% Petit Verdot

TASTING NOTES: 

The 2024 Cuvée Alexandre Carmenère is blended with 10% Syrah and 5% Petit Verdot, providing a welcome dose of posture and structure to an otherwise rich expression of the variety. A powerful bouquet of dried herbs, dark fruits and bittersweet chocolate introduces a velvety, contained mouthfeel and a harmonious finish that lingers with dusty tannins.
