We have been on a Carmenere kick lately and love this one. A calmer version with green pepper and plum notes. A bit dryer than some but with a lovely finish.

This one is a knockout, especially at the price. Lovely on the nose and the palate. Dark plum, paprika, dark herbs maybe toward horehound. Some spice, a bit of green pepper, and some raspberry -it lingers on the palate at length. Quite uniquely beautiful.

Rich tannins on the nose, Maybe some minerality?

Medium bodied, with a lingering finish ending in toasted berry.
Not as good and spicy as the 2018

Pretty solid - been awhile since I’ve had Carmenere and this hit the spot: big time black & red fruit, veering on tart side, but smooth & lush - polished on palate. As it opened, strutted secondary flavors of soil, pepper, spice, and some herbaceousness. Silky thru finish - balanced & well done.

Savory, would pair with pepperoni,
Spicy with a long finish that tickles.
