Anka 2008 Red Blend, Pargua, Maipo Valley |
|
A unique and supple blend form Chile, Anka is made by the Pargua winery where Winemaker Jean Pascal Lacaze grows all of his grapes organically and sutainably to produce high quality fruit. The blend here is 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 7% Carmenère, 4% Syrah and 1% Petit Verdot, all vinified separately and aged in oak barrels. Wine Enthusiast magazine scored it 91 points saying "This is an interesting six-grape blend that’s not like most other Chilean specimens. It starts with a leathery note as well as eucalyptus, licorice and lightly minty fruit aromas. It feels cheeky and tannic but mature, with baked berry, raisin and chocolate flavors. Dark, spicy and chocolaty until the last remnants of the finish conclude; this needs lots of air to show its best."
