Retail $30. Big. Ass. Bottle. 44% Shiraz/Syrah, 30% Carménère, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Mourvèdre and Malbec, Petit Verdot, Garnacha, Tempranillo. OK, I am about to blow a gasket. The back label of this wine states "Because we care" above six graphics that indicate (I assume, since I did not take the time to examine any further) that the producer "cares" about sustainability or organic production, or the freaking planet. That would all be great in my book if this bottle DID NOT WEIGH SO FREAKING MUCH. I care about the planet, the producers of this wine want us to believe they do, too. Then WHY in the name of (fill in the name of whatever god you worship), is this bottle so freaking HEAVY?? It is well beyond time that we hold producers responsible. You want to claim that you are organic/sustainable/biodynamic? Then use a responsible freaking bottle, rabbit-bottom! The wine? Excellent. But I am way too fired up to talk any more about it.
Wines of Chile - Sustainability By The Glass: Nearly opaque red cherry color with black currant, black cherry, strawberry leather, pink peppercorns, vanilla, flint and a hint of mint aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and velvety tannins. It shows tart black currant, ripe black cherry, macerated blueberry, vanilla flavors with an appealing mix of dried herb and peppery savoriness. Blend of 42% Syrah, 39% Carmenere with dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Malbec, Carignan, Tempranillo and Mourvedre. 14.4% abv| SRP - $35
A pioneer in Chile, Emiliana is one of the world’s largest producers of organic and biodynamic wines in the world. Coyam comes from a vineyard on granite-based soils in Colchaga’s coastal mountain range. All the fruit is own-rooted and is a massal (field) selection of different varieties, except for the Syrah, which is a specific clone.
Sustainability Pillar: Installation and support for organic gardens in local schools in 50% of the communications Emiliana operates in (goal: 100%). Also has 91 organic vegetable gardens for is employees, with many participating in collective growing to provide healthy food for their families.

Assez fruité, pas trop de plant de tomates.
Cassis et eucalyptus.
Tannins charnus sur une finale longue
avec une pointe de chauffe.

Senteur de casis et mûre et mentol. Goût de mûre un peu amer. Pour le prix c’est un super vin passe partout
