The Tinguiririca River (Indian for "Loud River") flows from high in the Andes mountains across Chile to the Pacific Ocean. In the spring, when the snow-capped peaks begin to melt, the placid stream becomes a raging torrent.

Loud River Roaring Red is a full-bodied powerful blend of peppery Petit Verdot, spicy-fruity Carmenére and rich Cabernet Sauvignon. It shows expressive fruitiness in the nose, bursting with rich, ripe plums and blackberries sparked with spices. In the mouth, it is well balanced, showcasing the freshness of the fruit alongside forceful tannins for a tasty, round and long finish.

With its deep, ruby red color and robust flavors, it's an excellent complement to juicy barbequed meats and spicy foods.
