Opinión de los críticos
This is very fine textured with hints of chocolate, fresh herb and currant aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, very fine tannins and a pretty finish. Drink now or hold.
The top of the range is a pure Carmenere, the 2014 Alka, which is sourced 50% from their Lolol vineyard and 50% from vines in Apalta. It's a ripe and heady version of the grape, with high alcohol, full-bodied and with some sweetness in the finish. It matured in 600-liter French oak barrels for 18 months. It follows the house style of ripe wines with a commercial profile. 4,000 bottles were filled in August 2016.
