Lapostolle Canto de Apalta 2010

Canto is a unique blend that enhances the main characteristics of each grape into a symphony (from the components Carmenere, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah). A careful selection from the different lots of each varietal along with a natural winemaking approach and the mastery of blending create a complex and expressive wine. Deep color, beautiful fruit, and spicy expression in the nose with a round, velvety structure. An ideal companion for stewed and grilled meats in a variety of preparations.

36% Carmenere, 31% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah.
