Made of fruit grown in the Apalta and Marchigue regions of what is perhaps Chile's most well-known terroir, the Colchagua Valley, Purple Angel Carmenere is this varietal at its best. 70% of the wine sees 18 months in new French oak, giving it distinct dark chocolate and tobacco notes, and the fruit is well-expressed, with a hint of dried herbs.
Deep red leaning into purple, as is characteristic of Carmenère. Intense blackberry and blueberry on the nose, accompanied by pleasing spice notes of bell pepper and black pepper, rounded out by time in French oak barrels, delivering a very complex wine. The palate of the wine shows extreme smoothness and potency, with a very long, pleasant finish. 85% Carmenere, 15% Cabernet Franc.
