Lapostolle winery has garnered critical acclaim for its Bordeaux blends from the Colchagua Valley. However, some of the winery’s most interesting wines include a terroir series of Syrah and Carmenère from around Chile, such as the Lapostolle 2020 Cuvée Alexandre Carmenère. It exudes intense black cherry, blackcurrant, and black pepper combined with delicate notes of sage and herbs. There is an appealing jolt of freshness and relatively fine-grained tannins — all in all, a Carmenère with beautiful aromatics and lots of energy.
