The riper side of Carmenre. Want peppers and spice? This is not for you.

Was hoping for a pepper bomb but this has elegant red fruit and pretty fresh acid.

Good, but I think shows the limits of camenere by itself. Wet wood, plastic, fruit on the nose. Palate smooth but too much so - no structure or complexity.

Love it. Easy to drink. Clone of cab sav?original grape from Bordeaux but no more now. Only in Chile and abroad. Chile preserved it over last 150 years and mistakenly thought it was a merlot.
