I really thought that this Carmenere would have more character in it - instead it was a bit flat and watery.

Black fruit and black earth. Interesting if rather normal.

Huge fan - Carmenere my new favorite South American wine. Surprisingly replacing Malbec - fuller bodied with more bite than a malbec. Mui bueno

Nice berry flavors early, then a smooth leathery finish with light tannins

Really interesting! Wonderful scents of green chili or jalapeño. Tastes of jalapeño and dark fruits. Not overly tannic. Big, bold, and delightful!

Had a taste before using it for sangria. Very fruit nose - raspberry & strawberry present. Slightly dry with some spice. A nice smooth finish. It'll make for an amazing sangria with tonight's dinner but I'll be buying another bottle to have on its own.
