Winemaker Notes: Deep red color. Expresses a red and black fruit character with notes of blackberry, cherry, plum complemented by fresh herbal and violet notes. Juicy, with a lively acidity, mineral texture and elegant tannins. It has a long finish.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Produced with grapes from Los Arbolitos within Los Chacayes, the new 2015 Aluvional Los Chacayes was harvested earlier and fermented in concrete with 30% to 50% full clusters with indigenous yeast. It aged in older oak and for a shorter amount of time. Oak and sweetness have disappeared completely from the Aluvional range, and the wines reflect the place a bit more—the direction in which they have been working, especially since 2013/2014. The 2015 vintage doesn't show any heat or ripeness, and the whole top range shows very good freshness and is very regular. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2016."
