This Chilean cabernet is rounded off with a 15% blend of merlot. The 2006 growing season in the Apalta vineyard was ideal, allowing a harvest of perfectly mature fruit. Year after year, the soil, climate and topography of Apalta vineyard combine to provide fruit that Lapostolle’s winemakers turn into wines of outstanding quality. This cabernet can be enjoyed today, or cellared and appreciated many years from now.
