Santa Luz 2013 Gran Corte Red (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Gran Corte
Variety: Red Blend Colchagua Valley
Winery: Santa Luz /

A heavy oak character controls the nose, and with it comes aromas of sawdust, vanilla, cocoa and raspberry. This feels a bit sticky and creamy, while palpable oak returns on the palate and creates vanilla, pepper and chocolate flavors. Heat, high acidity and peppery spice work the finish on this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Syrah.
