Bravura is characterized by the wonderfully ripe fruit flavor and elegance of wines grown in the red, rocky soils of our estate vineyard, El Ma&#237;ten. The wine is produced in limited quantities and only in exceptional vintages using luxury class winemaking techniques. <br><br> <strong>Tasting Notes:</strong><br> The 2003 has an intense cherry color which reflects its youth and liveliness. The influence of the valley is clearly expressed in the complexity of aromas of black cherry, fresh red fruits, black pepper, berries and floral notes together with subtle touches of smokey oak given by the aging in small French oak barrels. The blending of the different grape varieties delivers a powerful and mouth-filling wine with soft and velvety tannins. <br> <br> <strong>Acclaim:</strong><br> 91 Points - <em>Wine Enthusiast</em>, May 2008<br> Critics Platinum - 2007 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition <br> <br> <strong>Statistics:</strong><br> Composition: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Carm&#233;n&#232;re<br> Appellation: Colchagua Valley<br> Barrel Aging: 100% French oak (40% new barrels medium toast)<br></p> <p> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> </ul> </p> <p><b>Category: <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/calinawine/Category6" title="Bordeaux Blend">Bordeaux Blend</a></b></p> <br clear="left" /><br /><p><a href="http://www.nexternal.com/calinawine" title="Calina Products">Calina Products</a></p> <br clear="left" /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://www.calina.com">Calina</a> <br />Calina <a href="http://www.nexternal.com" title="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</a> powered by Nexternal
