What's New in the World of Wine

Chile 2015

10/1/2015

 
Once again, Chile was kind to Grapemasters grapes.  A fantastic assortment of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Carmenere have been quitely fermenting away, with exceptional aromas and flavors to be had.  My favorite so far?  Carmenere- dark notes of leather, soy sauce, dark berries and tannins that carry to a great finish.  The chardonnay, one of my personal favorites broke in a new barrel for me, a great punch of oak to an already fruity and rich vintage.  The viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc are also quite exceptional.  In fact, I am taking some viognier from Chile and blening it in with Shiraz from Spain to copy a Northern Rhone classic.
