The 2020 Carménère CA2 Costa from Lolol, Colchagua Costa, was aged for 16 months in 42% new 300-liter French barrels with 58% in untoasted foudres. A vivid purple hue. The nose presents jalapeño and ash notes over a layer of plum and blackberry with hints of herbs. Indulgent and intense on the palate with a broad flow and finely grained tannins. The pleasant, juicy finish features gum-tickling, overripe dark fruit.

The spicy, peppery and deeply varietal 2020 Carmenere Ca2 Costa ois ripe without excess at 14.3% alcohol and keeps good freshness. It is light to medium-bodied, with abundant grainy tannins and a finish of black peppercorns. It matured in a combination of untoasted foudre and barriques and has integrated oak. 17,350 bottles were filled in December 2021.

An elegant expression, with dusty, dried rose petal and petrichor aromas joining floral raspberry and red currant flavors, which benefit from fresh acidity and linger around fine tannins and notes of chocolate. Drink now. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.
