William Cole Grand Reserve Carménère

The Colchagua Valley occupies the southern half of the Rapel Valley, in Chile's O'Higgins Region, running from the foot of the Andes to the coast. It is a warm valley; the low coastal hills let Pacific breezes meet Andean winds and cool it. The great majority of its wine is red: Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted grape, followed by Carménère, originally from Bordeaux, and Merlot.
