Country: Chile / Colchagua Valley
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Caliterra / Tribute Edicion Limitada Cabernet Franc-Petit Verdot
This blend of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot opens with fiery, oaky aromas that include cherry, cassis and vanilla. The palate has a severe tartaric shear to it along with clampy tannins. High-toned flavors of raspberry and plum are propped up by blazing acidity, while the finish is herbal and peppery in taste, with a scouring feel.
