Allow me to start with a confession: I love Carmenere. Never had a glass I didn't like. Oddly enough, it's really the only grape from Chile I've truly enjoyed (that's probably not fair, so let's just say Carmenere is definitely head and shoulders above any of the competition. And this doesn't even factor in the ridiculous value - this particular bottle fits into the sub $10 range. It's kind of like a new world Rioja, which incidentally, also tends to be a bargain (and delicious). Dark red fruit - plums, stewed raspberries and blackberries - meet tobacco, farm pasture, eucalyptus, and menthol (and a touch of petrol) on the nose. Silky smooth tannins greet the palette, with black and red fruits forward and a bit of rich, black soil in the background. Everyone's tastes are different, of course, but if you haven't found your wag to a Chilean Carmenere yet you should really give one a try. — 7 years ago

Smells like black fruits, tastes like chocolate and tobacco. Reminds me strangely of a French wine. Really like it — 6 years ago

This is one hell of a value wine. It starts with a lemony Chardonnay nose and tastes very pretty, slightly sappy and honest. 10% new oak, 4% Viognier. A great value. — 8 years ago

Smooth, easy drinking, not acidic. Hint of sweetness, in a good way — 4 years ago
