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.

Color: Dark and deep crimson red. Bouquet: Luscious flavors - dark plums and chocolate with hints of coffee and toasty American oak. Taste: Notes of dark plums and spice, generously framed by toasty American oak with a soft and well structured mouthfilling texture. Casillero del Diablo Carmenere is excellent with fresh light dishes based in meats, vegetables and fresh herbs. Also a good accompaniment to ripe cheeses such as Gouda, Gruyere or a dry goat cheese.

Good value for the price, although there are MUCH better examples of Carmenere at lower prices than this. (Try Tutunjian Pacifico Sur 2005 for about 9 bucks!) Nice dark fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and nutmeg notes. A little bit too oaky for my taste. Not my first choice for value Carmenere

A Stellar Sampling of Carmenere at a great price. This was the first Carmenere that I ever had, and I always come back to it as one of my favorites. A Dark Hearted Wine!
Give it a go!
