Emiliana 2012 Coyam Red (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Coyam
Variety: Red Blend Colchagua Valley
Winery: Emiliana /

This six-grape blend with large amounts of Syrah and Carmenère smells fruity and jumpy, like wet dog fur and candied berry and cherry. The palate is solid, tannic and rubbery, with dark, exotic, offbeat flavors of herbal plum, blackberry and cassis. A toasty finish is solid in feel and gets a boost from residual acidity. Drink through 2020.
