Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2021, 0.75L
Carmenere / Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon from Apalta, Colchagua Valley

“The 2021 Clos Apalta comprises 75% Carménère, with the remainder filled out by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, sourced from the eponymous Apalta Vineyard. It was aged for 24 months in oak barrels, two-thirds of which were new. This dark purple wine reveals nuanced aromas of graphite, herbs, dried plums and blackberry marmalade, complemented by mint, boldo and garrigue-like notes over a green bell pepper layer. Plush and ample on the palate, it is lifted by a mild refreshing quality that adds a rare nimbleness to its flow. This long-lasting red is a serious wine, less influenced by Michel Rolland's style than in other years, as the fresh vintage imparted a lighter, less ripe and more expressive character. Clos Apalta is one of those rare Chilean wines that reliably showcases the characteristics of each vintage while maintaining a consistent house style. That steadiness is a boon for consumers, as it allows them to appreciate the impact of different vintages, which is a significant part of the allure of high-quality wines.”  98, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Jul 2024

Syrah from Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône

“Lots of iron and mineral character to the plums and dark fruit here. Medium to full body and a juicy finish. Chewy at the end, too. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” 92, James Suckling, Jul 2021
