A Pinot Noir with muscle, its concentrated notes of black cherry, pink peppercorns, plum, and espresso dynamic and impressive.

Grown on rocky soils as high as 3,000 feet in elevation, this blend of 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc demonstrate the abilities of Cab Franc as a superb partner to Cab Sauvignon from this region. Melted dark chocolate, violets, and chewy plum skin tannins create a dynamic first impression. Red and black fruit are bright and weave together with a mid-palate intensity of tobacco and umami. Aged 14 months in oak barrels, it shows a Chinon-like quality in its floral elegance and freshness.
Viña Carmen
Thanks to cool coastal influences and calcareous soils, the Limari Valley – one of the northernmost winegrowing regions in Chile – offers this most elegant and international style white. Its vanilla perfumed nose leads to a mineral-toned profile, with crème fraiche, lemon meringue, and toasted coconut. Fresh linen, salty pears, and peach notes are subtle but elegant. Whole cluster pressed, it imparts a complex mouthfeel and introduces floral notes, while also contributing to the wine’s enhanced acidity. First, a short ferment in smaller barrels and then aged 10-12 months in French oak. Outstanding – this single vineyard Chardonnay can compete with a white Burgundy.
Viña Carmen
This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and refreshing with a steely focus. Vanilla-powdered pears and jasmine are stand-out flavors.
Dusted rose petals, watermelon, hibiscus, and shattered white cherries are distinctively alluring. Bright and shiny, its mineral tones a banner waving in the salty breeze.
This rosé offers a perfume of rose petals steeped in Pekoe tea. Melting vanilla bean crosses the palate, with strawberries and an ever-so-light sensation of whipped cream. Beautifully balanced acidity augmenting a dashing, dramatic exit.
Tart green apple and lime chiffon connect with racy acidity for a bright, shiny sipper.
Mouth-puckering notes of red cherry, sweet tobacco, and red tea come together for a vibrant blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Petite Sirah, 11% Grenache, 5% Tempranillo, and 4% Mourvèdre. Glistening white pepper adds zing to the finish.
