TerraNoble, Colchagua Valley (Chile) Carménère 2020

Oct 18, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 Carménère flourishes in Chile’s Colchagua Valley, and the 2020 TerraNoble Costa CA2 showcases the depth of the fertile Colchagua Valley beneath the Andes.  This Carménère is lush, succulent, and enveloping.  The first pour opens with a rush of red berries — red currant, cherry pit, and crushed red raspberries underpinned by a cedary spice.  The palate immediately wows with a profound purity of that red fruit and spice with a rigorous backbone of acid and mouth-coating tannin.
