Caliterra Reserva Carmenere Cabernet-Sauvignon Colchagua 2015

Dark garnet color with purple hue. Typical nose of cabernet wines with balck fruit, spices, leather, then the carmenere kicks in with its nice green notes (far from the Quebec’s too often term of tomoto leaves!). Dry on the palate with a little bite from the tannins, this is quite enjoyable, especially for the price! Long and wide on the palate, balanced, not heavy at all and pretty tasty. Good+ (88) 

Made of 58% Carmenère and 42% Cabernet-Sauvignon. 30% of the wine was aged 6 to 9 months in 2-3 wines old French oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Available in SAQ stores for 12,95$ (Code SAQ : 12560523)
