Apaltagua Envero Carmenere Gran Reserva 2009
88 points
Inky ruby. Smells a lot like a cabernet, displaying scents of dried cherry, redcurrant, tobacco and musky herbs. This densely packed, chewy mid-weight shows good intensity and spiciness, along with a hint of licorice. Finishes with gentle grip and sneaky sweetness, leaving a peppery note behind.

Apaltagua Grial Carmenere 2008
91 points
Opaque ruby. Sexy aromas of cherry-cola, boysenberry and vanilla, with Indian spice overtones. Broad, palate-coating black and blue fruit flavors show a velvety texture and pick up energy with aeration. Emphatically modern carmenere with intense, oak-spiced fruit tones lingering on the penetrating finish. This wine would sit nicely in a flight of high-end Napa red wines.
