"Chakana's 2014 Estate Red is a blend of 60% Malbec, and the rest equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, again sourced from the Altamira Vineyards. This wine spent ten months in 100% new French oak and is a limited cuvée of 3,000 six-packs. Deep purple, its stunning nose of vanilla, graphite, white chocolate, charcoal and blackberry is followed by a deep, medium to full-bodied wine with sensational richness, concentration and length. At $25, it is hardly a super-bargain, but at this quality level merits serious attention."
