2021 Rated 94 points James Suckling - A spicy carmenere with nice complexity and freshness. Tapenade, currants and black cherries with grilled tarragon and a hint of roasted red pepper. A juicy, medium- to full-bodied palate that underscores the freshness and length. Fresh, medium acidity for carmenere with fine-grained tannins.


Color: Intense purple red. Nose: Complex, with red and black fruit such as maqui berry and spices such as red pepper, vanilla and dill. Palate: Wide, of medium acidity and round tannins with fruit such as sarsaparilla and maqui berry. Medium long finish. Food Pairing: Decant and serve at 16°C (60°F). Ideal for dishes such as rabbit roulade with mint and apricot or four-cheese pasta with truffles with grated truffles.

The 2021 Carménère Cuvée Alexandre from Apalta, Colchagua, spent 10 months in used barrels. Purple in the glass. The aromas feature blackberry, plum and twists of mint and ash. In the mouth, it has a structure sculpted by firm, juicy tannins and sustained flavor while the terroir and cool year add to the intensity.

The 2021 Cuvée Alexandre Carmenère has 3% Merlot and is ripe at 14.5% alcohol, juicy and tasty but with limited varietal character, nicely crafted and with some black pepper in the finish. 39,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2022.
