Just In – Savory Red from Chile!
J. Bouchon’s 2021 Canto Sur (95 Points – Decanter; 92 Points – Tim Atkin; 90 Points – Vinous) emanates from old dry-farmed vines in Chile’s Maule Valley. To preserve the wine’s delicious fruit, all of the grapes (a blend of 50% Carmenère, 25% País, 25% Carignan) were hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks in this authentic expression of Maule Valley’s unique terroir. Savory scents of red and black fruits, hints of black pepper, and dried herbs grace the nose. Blackberry, raspberry, and wild cherry flavors infused with a cache of wild herbs fill the mouth and glide gleefully down the throat on a bed of ripe, gentle tannins.
