The 2006 Vertice Apalta Vineyards, a blend of Carmenere and Syrah, is a glass-coating opaque purple with superb aromas of wood smoke, mineral, spice box, earth notes, and blueberry. This leads to a full-bodied, opulent wine with complex flavors, outstanding concentration, and several years of aging potential. Drink this lengthy effort from 2012 to 2026.
