title: Lapostolle 2011 Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Merlot (Colchagua Valley)
description: Muscular, rubbery aromas of black fruits are minty and tough. On the palate, this is rough as nails, with pounding tannins. Lead flavors of coconut, vanilla and chocolate are oak based, while the finish keeps that profile going. This is a big, dark, oaky wine with generic black-fruit character.
variety: Merlot
designation: Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard
