2018 Apalta Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon

The Lapostolle 2018 Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon from the Apalta region of Chile showcases a luscious red hue that invites you to indulge in its elegant flavors. This wine is beautifully structured with a solid body that presents a harmonious balance of fruitiness and tannins. The velvety tannins gently embrace the palate, enhancing the rich fruit intensity that bursts with every sip. The 2018 vintage of this Cabernet Sauvignon is a true gem that promises a sophisticated drinking experience.

Tasting notes:

The 2017 Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon has expressive and pronounced aromatics of cassis and blackcurrant. Elegant, round, and persistent tannins are accompanied by fresh cherry and a light toast on the palate.

Region:

Apalta

While it doesn't have the dramatic Andean scenery of other Chilean wine regions, Apalta's hot scrubby hills produce some seriously full-flavored red wines. These French-influenced Syrah and Carménère are becoming highly sought-after wines. Chile is famous for using Carménère as a single varietal, and in Apalta this lesser-known grape comes into its own. Subtle floral notes and refreshing acidity complement the typical flavors of black plum, raspberry and paprika. The Bordeaux-style blends are worth discovering, too, with classic notes of blackcurrant, mint and clove. It is easy to see why some of Chile's most famous wine producers have based themselves in Apalta.
