Apaltagua Envero Carmenere Gran Reserva Colchagua V. 2018

92 points Wine & Spirits
This wine’s green and red tones come together to parallel the contrasts in pastel de choclo, the traditional Chilean corn and beef pie. Here, it’s dark green tobacco and meaty bitter chocolate against red fruit brightness. It might sound strange, but it works, especially with chorizo, where the wine’s spice acts as an accelerant to the spice of the cured meat.
