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.

Winemakers Notes

Cigar box pepper and chocolate. Tasty and full-bodied. Elegant, powerful and lingering in mouth.

Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Nice blackcurrant and toasty oak aromas. Nice, sweet, concentrated palate, good fruit, oak, tannin balance. Good wine. Drink up to 2010.
