Cono Sur Organic Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere 2018
Colchagua Valley, in central Chile, is one of South America's most promising wine regions. It forms the south-western half of the larger Rapel Valley region. Some of Chile's finest red wines are made in the valley, mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Syrah.
The region's desirable terroir, combined with persistent, focused marketing has made this one of Chile's most important wine regions, along with Maipo Valley in the north.
Cono Sur Organic Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere is a delightful Chilean red wine blend that showcases the best of both varietals. This organic wine offers a harmonious mix of rich flavors, combining the boldness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the smoothness of Carmenere.

" A very leafy nose with lemons and some brown tea-leaf flavors here that make for a mellow, soothing palate with a citrus twist. Drink now. Screw cap." - Tasted on Friday, April 5, 2019

"The certified 2018 Organic Cabernet Sauvignon / Carmenere / Syrah is a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Carmenere and 25% Syrah from different locations across Chile. Seventy percent of the volume matured in used barrels and the rest in stainless steel with oak staves. It's a juicy and approachable red blend that is quite fruit-driven. It's a rare combination of grapes that seems to work quite well, and the combination of places where the different grapes are grown seems to add some complexity. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and some detail, and it gains complexity in the glass." - Tasted on Feb 29, 2020 by Luis Gutiérrez

Wine Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere is made from grapes grown organically. This reddish purple wine from Colchagua Valley offers an expressive and very fruity to the nose, with notes of plums, berries, and dry fruits. In the mouth, this juicy blend is a delightful concentration of red and black fruits, which are in complete harmony with soft tannins. A wine of integrated character, that culminates in a chocolate finish with underlying woody and toasty hints.
位於智利中部的科爾查瓜山谷是南美洲最有前途的葡萄酒產區之一。,它構成了更大的拉佩爾山谷地區的西南半部。智利一些最好的紅葡萄酒是在這個山谷釀造的，主要來自赤霞珠(Cabernet Sauvignon)、佳美無瑕(Carmenère)和西拉(Syrah)。
該地區令人嚮往的風土，加上持續而專注的營銷，使其成爲智利最重要的葡萄酒產區之一，與北部的邁波谷(Maipo Valley)齊名。
Cono Sur有機赤霞珠佳美尼是一種令人愉快的智利紅葡萄酒混合，展示了兩個品種的最佳。這款有機葡萄酒融合了赤霞珠(Cabernet Sauvignon)的大膽與佳美納(Carmenere)的柔滑，和諧地融合了豐富的風味。

"經過認證的2018年有機赤霞珠/佳美尼/西拉是由49%的赤霞珠、26%的佳美尼和25%的西拉混合而成，產自智利各地。70%的酒量在用過的桶中成熟，其餘的放在不鏽鋼橡木桶中。這是一款多汁且平易近人的紅色混合酒，帶有濃郁的水果味。這是一種罕見的葡萄組合，似乎效果很好，而不同葡萄種植地的組合似乎增加了一些複雜性。酒體適中，單寧細膩，細節豐富，在杯中更加複雜。" - 2020年2月29日由Luis Gutiérrez品鑑
