Mirador

2014 Colchagua Valley Carmenere

William Cole Vineyards' Mirador is a captivating 2014 Carmenere from the renowned Colchagua Valley, a region celebrated for its exceptional terroir and climate that perfectly nurture this varietal. The wine displays a deep, vibrant red hue, hinting at its richness and complexity. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience with prominent fruit intensity, showcasing luscious notes of blackberries and plums, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. The acidity is bright, providing a refreshing lift to the fruit-forward profile while the tannins are notable yet well-integrated, giving the wine structure and elegance. This delightful Carmenere is beautifully dry, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes, particularly rich meats and savory stews. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with food, the Mirador is a testament to the quality and character that Colchagua Valley wines consistently deliver.

Colchagua Valley

Dubbed "Chile's red wine paradise" by Vogue magazine, Colchagua Valley is undoubtedly one of South America's finest wine regions. Indeed, many of Chile's best reds come from this dry, ocean breeze-cooled section of the Central Valley. Expect inky-dark reds made from Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. These wines burst with flavors of ripe berries and earthy tobacco, with a nice acidic balance thanks to the valley's cool nights. Don't underestimate the white wines, either, as Colchuaga's breezy coast is home to some memorable Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
