Chile has been an increasing source of quality wines, which are very easy on the pocketbook. The Blend by Primus is a great example and is consistently one of the greatest values for Bordeaux-style wines. This fantastic tasting wine is a blend of power and finesse that merges Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Carmenère, which is fast becoming the signature grape of Chile. Carmenère contributes exotic spice and a rich, sensuous texture to blends.
Primus employs winemaking techniques similar to Napa Valley’s top Cabernet-based blends, but Chile’s economic advantage delivers world-class quality at less than half the price of similar blends from the new world. Ripe, generous fruit is the hallmark of this wine, which comes across as big and bold yet with remarkable balance. The tremendous complexity and long textured finish delivers a wine that will surprise you and will have you asking for more.
JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - "A generous and rich red with round and chewy tannins. So much lovely ripe fruit with currant and hints of walnut character. Full and beautiful. Gorgeous wine. 40% cabernet, 25% merlot, 24% carmenere, 8% petit verdot and the rest cab franc. Drink or hold."
