Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep, dark red in color with lush aromas of cherries, blackcurrant, and blackberry, with a touch of black and white pepper. Tight and focused with deeply concentrated flavors and an almost silky texture with soft, smooth tannins that come to the fore at the beginning of the long finish.

Pair with Duck magret or confit; meats with sweet-and-sour sauces.

    Features minerally snap to the concentrated raspberry, plum and wild cherry flavors. Crushed green herb notes show on the suave finish. Drink now through 2022.

    COMMENTARY: When will the world understand Carmenère? This Bordeaux red grape variety seems to be happiest when it stays in the dried herbs and red currant area. The 2017 Concha y Toro Serie Riberas Gran Reserva is a wine of precision. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits excellent depth and balance. Its focused aromas and flavors of ripe red currants and savory spices should pair it beautifully with mildly-spiced oven-roasted pork tenderloin. (Tasted: May 31, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

Dark, full-bodied and herbaceous with a spicy kick, Carménère found great success with its move to Chile in the mid-19th century. However, the variety went a bit undercover until 1994 when many plantings previously thought to be Merlot, were profiled as Carménère. Somm Secret— Carménère is both a progeny and a great-grandchild of the similarly flavored Cabernet Franc.

Colchagua Valley Wine

Rapel Valley, Chile

View all products

Well-regarded for intense and exceptionally high quality red wines, the Colchagua Valley is situated in the southern part of Chile’s Rapel Valley, with many of the best vineyards lying in the foothills of the Coastal Range.

Heavy French investment and cutting-edge technology in both the vineyard and the winery has been a boon to the local viticultural industry, which already laid claim to ancient vines and a textbook Mediterranean climate.

The warm, dry growing season in the Colchagua Valley favors robust reds made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Malbec and Syrah—in fact, some of Chile’s very best are made here. A small amount of good white wine is produced from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
