What to Expect
Carmenère is one of a small group of wines that thrives in its adopted land but struggles to gain acceptance at home. It still is used on occasion in France's Bordeaux region where it adds color and complexity to blends with its distinctive mélange of smoky, herbal and gamy tones. In South America, particularly Chile, it ripens fully and the wines take on added layers of dark berry fruit that gives it a balance rarely achieved in France.

Looking for an amazing value, delicious and new wine? This wine was what Bordeaux was originally primarily made from, now its found almost exclusively in Chile. This is a delicious example of this incredible variety, which combines the best of Cabernet and Merlot - Concha y Toro makes the best examples of this unique variety in the world. Dark and deep red. Attractive aromas of dark plums, blackcurrant and chocolate, with hints of coffee and toasted American oak. Notes of dark plums and spice, with a generous touch of toasted American oak and a soft and well structured mouthfilling texture. Enjoy read more...
I don't know why I picked up this bottle. Granted, $9 bottles of wine have their purpose (generally a night cap and a recork; sometimes a "look what I found" amazing value for me,). I guess I would have to say it's "OK," which is a great rating based on price. Light and a bit on the watery side, it shows some raspberry and I believe I am getting a little spice in the nose (eucalyptos???). Very light tannins and a surprisingly long finish. I definately like it, but I don't love it. This is the perfect bottle for Grandma's house or a gift you have to buy for someone you don't really read more...
