What to Expect

The classic Bordeaux blends rely on either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the bulk of the wine with additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec helping to add complexity, color, body and structure to the finished wine.

A rich, massive wine with smooth, supple tannins and dense, multi-layered flavors. Primus is comprised of Carmenere, widely planted in Bordeaux in the 1800s, but now found only in Chile. This ususual cousin of Merlot produces wines of deep, exotic flavors and great aging potential.

Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter One of the highest vineyards in the valley (higher is hotter in Casablanca), Veramonte can achieve enviable ripeness while still retaining the elegance of fruit and minerals imbued by the valley's cool climate. Drink up to 2004.

An earthy, rich red with a lovely dry finish. Perfect with steak, porcini ravioli, or any hearty dish. Was surprised to find out it was not an expensive cab!
