2014 vintage, showing lots of funky earth on the nose and ripe cherry and pepper on the palate. Eat with salty grilled meats and vegetables and you'll be just fine.

Good carmenere. I mean, for what it is. What else would I rather drink at a Brazilian Steakhouse with all this uber-salty meat? Wouldn't waste my time on an exceptional wine... would I?

On the riper side, lacking the characteristic green pepper found in many Carménères. Lighter tannins, cherries, and moderately spicy.

Like the spice. My first carmenere. Different aroma. Not as bold as I expected. Nice change of pace for me.

Meh. Smoky and peppery on nose. Too simple for me. Drinkable (with chocolate), but not worth buying again. Second day - not really enjoying, tempted to toss rest of the bottle out.

Odd flavors. I pick up burnt tire. Curious wine that I would try again.
