NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Elqui Red Blend offers a delightful experience of dark fruit flavors, with a hint of spice and smokiness.On the nose, there are notes of blackberry, plum, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the bold tannins are balanced with a smooth, velvety texture that carries through to the finish. The dark fruit flavors are rounded out by a subtle oak character with a hint of espresso and leather. Enjoy this wine with a hearty steak or grilled meats.
