Coyam 2019, Colchagua Valley, Chile

Emiliana’s iconic blend. This wine is hugely evocative of the best Chilean reds, largely down to Emiliana’s belief in Carménère which forms a third of this blend. The rest of the blend evolves each year but Carménère is the predominant profile. A nose of the very classically leafy Carménère and Cabernet family with some natural charcoal and tarry notes. The palate is deeply expressive of the blend with a tightly grained oak structure. Rich and packed with complex fruit character. Good concentration and structure that draws out the persistent finish. This is a complex wine that needs intense preparations such as grilled red meats, including wagyu, beef, or lamb, served with potatoes au gratin, rice, or spicy sauces. Decant before drinking and serve in Bordeaux-style glasses.
