Winemaker Notes

The Viña Echeverría Reserva range comprises seven wines, which are characterized by their lively and fruity appeal. Fresh and vibrant with little or no oak, they are a true expression of the individuality of each grape variety. These are wines which work as well as aperitif or house wines, as they do with food.

The grapes for this wine come from a single vineyard. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in 225 litre French used barrels for 10-12 months. 

This Carmenère combines intense aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries, with hints of red bell pepper, dried fruit and spices. Smooth and full-bodied, it has a round and delicate mouthful due to 12 months oak barrel ageing.

Winemaker Notes

Merlot grapes for this vintage were grown in several of Lodi’s sub-appellations including Alta Mesa, Sloughhouse, Mokelumne River, and Jahant. These different locations provide diverse soils and climate that, when combined, create a more complex wine than coming from one vineyard alone. The wine spends two months’ aging in new French oak.

Bursting with luscious fruit and soft tannins, for excellent drinkability. Rich, ripe black cherry and black plums lead to a hint of vanilla and toast. Flavors of currants with juicy dark fruit and spicy cedar ends with rounded, well-balanced and complex finish.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is on purpose and represents my vision of a revolutionary new style of red wine with no drying tannins, bitterness or astringency – bursting with ripe red forest fruit and jam-packed with juiciness. I make it by blending two types of grapes designed by nature to party together. The Cinsault (pronounced Sin-So), does what it sets out to do – infamous for a smooth, velvety deliciousness that is so decadent it boarders on sinful! The Pinotage brings the tunes – it’s the DJ and its going bring the house down. Crack it open and be amazed.
