Cima Collina Meritage is a captivating red wine that gracefully embodies the complexity of the San Antonio Valley.

The inclusion of Malbec adds an enticing layer of dark fruit and spice. Its body is full, delivering a rich and satisfying experience on the palate.

The tannins are notably firm, providing a solid backbone while allowing the rich fruit flavors to shine through.

Chile
Chile

In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.
