From its humble beginnings in Bordeaux to serving as the star of Chile’s viticultural scene, the Carménère grape has quite the story to tell, and the 2019 Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Carmenère tells its story through intense aromas and flavors. Cracked peppercorn, crushed dark berries, and sweet spice flavors dominate the wine’s mouth-coating palate. This full-bodied expression of the Carmenère grape is powerful yet balanced with fine-grained, abundant tannins. Enjoy it with all things grilled.
