Clos des Fous 2012 Cauquenina Viñas Viejas de Cauquenes Red (Itata Valley)

Country: Chile / Cauquenina Viñas Viejas de Cauquenes
Variety: Red Blend Itata Valley
Winery: Clos des Fous /

This atypical Chilean red hails from the Maule Valley and eschews oak and ripeness and instead delivers wiry raspberry, currant and dried-earth aromas in front of a high-acid, racy palate that’s medium in body. Snappy, spicy red plum and raspberry flavors are fresh and edgy, with scraping acidity creating a zesty, scrubbing finish. Drink through 2020.
