Engaging cumin spices with glossy currants, black olives and tobacco leaf. A medium-to full-bodied carmenere with juicy black fruit and firm but silky tannins. Nice length, with some dark spices and olives.
Wine Spectator: 90 PointsTightly wound for Carmenère, but slowly reveals subtle dusty cocoa, petrichor and spice notes up front, joining black cherry flavors that ride a wave of briny olive and fresh acidity onto a finish marked by firm tannins and roasted red pepper. Best after 2025.
Carmenère is a red wine grape variety originally from Bordeaux, France, but it has found a new home in Chile. Often referred to as the "lost grape of Bordeaux," Carmenère produces wines with a deep, red color and distinctive notes of dark fruit, green bell pepper, and sometimes a hint of spiciness. In Chile, Carmenère has become a flagship grape, celebrated for its unique characteristics and the country's ability to showcase its full potential. The wines are known for their approachability, smooth tannins, and a profile that combines fruitiness with intriguing herbal and peppery undertones.
