Emiliana, Colchagua Valley (Chile) Carmenère 2010

Jun 15, 2011

By Michael Apstein

 I never know whether it’s the organically grown grapes or the extra attention the winegrower must give to the vineyard when farming organically that contributes to the quality of an organic wine.  Not that it matters.   Emiliana has brought it all together very nicely with this wine. It has some plumy red fruit, a whiff of savory leafiness and balancing acidity.  It’s a great buy.
