Chile’s vineyards bask in heat, light and dryness, which makes them easier to farm without fungicides and pesticides, leading some to wonder whether Chile could become the world’s first wholly organic wine-growing nation. In this example, the signature carmenère grape offers clean, complex, well-proportioned cassis, pepper, bitter chocolate and green notes in a full-bodied, well-balanced frame. Good length. Vintages.
