Staff Pick Notes

Made from 100% premium Carignan fruit from seventy-year-old vines in the interior of the Maule Valley, one of the first wine-producing regions of Chile. With intense ruby and violet tones in the glass, aromas of fresh red and blue fruits and crushed flowers make us eager for a sip. We’re rewarded with a luscious palate of cassis, plum, chocolate espresso bean, and exceptionally harmonized tannin and acidity. The carnivorous plants on the label (oh how I was obsessed with those in third grade!) have the right idea for this wine; yummy proteins fresh off the grill or right out of the oven. From winemaker Constanza Schwaderer: “We produce wines blended with love for the land and grape. Wines with personality which make time flow after a glass, to be treasured between laughter and extraordinary memories with our family and friends.”

Now that it is subject to...

Chile’s friendly, delicious Carmenères are the best example, but Chile is generally one of the most consistent sources of delicious, ready-to-drink, approachable wines. Cabernet Sauvignons from Chile are just as crowd-pleasing as the Carmenères, and keep an eye out for velvety,...
