Indómita Duette Cabernet Carménère 2019
- Rich, full-bodied
- Maipo Valley
We haven’t had a wine from Chilean producer Indómita since the 2015 vintage. Not sure why, it just kinda happened that way. But there’s nothing like a Gold medal and 96 point score from Decanter to remind you that it’s time to reignite that relationship! This 50/50 blend of cabernet sauvignon and carménère (the unofficial national grape of Chile) is an absolute stunner. Carménère serves in the same role as merlot (some argue they are potentially the same genetically) in making what shapes up to be an exceptional Chilean take on a Bordeaux-style red blend. It’s dark, spicy, full of fruit, framed with structure, and given to an incredibly lengthy finish. Welcome back, Indómita!

“Dark plums, cherries, rosemary and spices. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins. Smoky and textured on the palate with a juicy, ink-like feel. Flavorful finish with good length. Drink or hold.”
Full price $45.00 from the producer.

Maipo Valley
The Maipo Valley lies in the foothills of the Andes and the wines are as epic as the scenery. Seriously, google it. People much older and wiser than us once believed the Gods resided on mountain tops and, if the wine coming out of Maipo is anything to go by, it tastes like there's definitely been some divine intervention happening. Maipo is the birthplace of the Chilean wine industry, and with terms like the "Bordeaux of South America" being thrown around, it's hard not to get excited when a shipment makes it to the 'Fo.
