Natalie's Score: 98/100

Purple Angel will make you feel as though you've gone to heaven aloft a cloud of sensory pleasure. How can one wine pack more flavour into the bottle? If you love full-bodied, juicy, fruit-forward wines, this is your apogee as it also has all of those other great hallmarks of superb wine: complexity, balance and finish. Pair with a juicy steak. This big Chilean red wine is sustainable and dry farmed, resulting in a 65% decrease in water use. Intensely purple-black plums . Aged for 12 months French oak barrels. Pair with grilled meats. Highly recommended.

Carmenere food pairings: hearty meat dishes, grilled steaks, osso buco..

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Opaque dark garnet with delicious Damson Plum jam & Concord grape aromas. The full-bodied, juicy palate replays the rich plummy flavours with vanilla and mocha. Dry, smooth and well-structured, with a mocha/plum finish. Try with your next grilled steak.
Tasted Nov. 2016
Simply a lovely ethereal wine. Full-bodied, rich and juicy, this big Chilean red wine is sustainable and dry farmed, resulting in a 65% decrease in water use. The wine was aged one year in French oak barrel. Pair with grilled meats. - Community Wine Reviews
