2022 Casa Silva Quinta Generacion Red Blend Los Lingues

The Casa Silva Quinta Generación Red Blend is a structured and powerful Chilean red wine with a deep ruby colour and intense aromas of black fruit like blackberries and black currants, complemented by spicy notes of cloves, cardamom, tobacco, and licorice. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah, and Petit Verdot, aged in French oak, and is known for its full body, firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish with hints of sweet spices.
