Wine Selections by John - Week One

Chile Offers Great Value!

Vina Falernia was founded in 1998 by Italian immigrant Aldo Olivier Gramola. The winery is located in the Elqui Valley and is Chile’s most northerly wine estate.

2007 Vina Falernia Carmenere-Syrah Reserva: Deep Purple. Pepper, herb and smoked meat. Medium-full bodied, plum and chocolate soft tannins with long balanced finish

2007 Vina Falernia Syrah Reserva: Deep purple. Black pepper, meat, dark chocolate, dark fruit and spice. Full bodied, ripe fruit, mint, dark chocolate and coffee, long smooth finish

Both wines would be best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes
