Lapostolle Apalta (Le Rouge) 2023

Lapostolle Apalta is praised for its rich, full-bodied character with deep fruit flavors like blackberry, plum, and cherry. It often features notes of oak, chocolate, and spices, with a smooth, long finish. While some appreciate its balance and complexity, others find the name misleading. The wine pairs well with meats and cheeses, offering excellent value, especially in vintages like 2015 and 2020.

This rich and full-bodied red blend from Lapostolle Apalta combines the power of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Syrah. It has a deep ruby color, with a nose of ripe black fruit, spicy notes of black pepper, and a hint of flint. On the palate, the wine is smooth, with a core of dark berry flavors and a hint of spice. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and pleasant. An excellent choice for a special occasion.
