Primus The Blend 750ml - Item Code: 06989
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Primus The Blend 750ml opens with a plush, velvety mouthfeel that makes it an excellent choice for special dinners or relaxed evenings. With an ABV of 14.5%, this Chilean red blend is crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in the Colchagua Valley, where the climate and soil impart depth and character to each bottle. The winemaking process emphasizes both structure and elegance, resulting in a wine that stands out for its balance and complexity.
On the palate, Primus The Blend reveals layers of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of spice, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and tobacco from oak aging. These rich flavors make it a superb match for roasted lamb dishes or aged cheddar cheese; the wine’s robust tannins cut through the richness while its fruit-forward profile enhances savory flavors. This harmonious pairing elevates both food and wine, creating a memorable dining experience.

This superb Bordeaux blend is a cuvée of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot with a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for company. Elegant, seamless and smooth, with textured tannins, aromatic oak and layers of grassy, dark berry fruit. 2018-27. Alcohol: 14%

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I found nice integration and balance in the 2015 Primus The Blend, which consists of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carmenere, 25% Merlot, 8% Petite Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc from Colchagua. It matured in French barrique for 18 months. The oak is nicely folded into the fruit, and the aromas and flavors are focused. It has fine-grained tannins, good freshness and overall balance.
Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
