Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Named for the river that bisects it, Aconcagua is one of Chile’s hottest and driest regions and is making its name as a place for great red wines. This is a delightful example of what the region has to offer. Intensely ruby in the glass with concentrated red fruit, spice and earthy undertones. Soft and sensual on the palate with voluptuous texture typical of fully ripened Carmenère. My note: Outstanding wine for the money! Cassis and cedar with full-bodied richness. Knock it back! Food matches: pork tenderloin.
