Chakana, Estate Selection Red Blend Brut Zero The 2013 TintoThe 2012 Estate Red is a blend of 60% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Shiraz aged 10 months in 100% new French oak. This killer red comes from Chakana s two well placed vineyards in southern Mendoza, Agrelo and Alta Mira. Aromas of flowers, blackberries, camphor, forest floor and subtle new oak emerge from this full bodied, textured, opulent blockbuster. Extremely pure and rich, this bargain priced Malbec should drink well for 6 10+ years. If
