Carmen Gran Reserva Carménère 2022
100% Carménère – El Peñasco Vineyard, Apalta, Chile 🇨🇱
This is Carménère at its finest, rich, expressive, and undeniably a Chilean flagship grape.
In the glass: Deep, dark purple with serious intensity. On the nose: Ripe blackberries, plums, sweet spices and tobacco leaves. Hints of anise and paprika adds depth and intrigue.
On the palate: A lush wave of dark cherries 🍒, smooth sweet tannins, and a soft texture that lingers. Beautifully concentrated, yet still fresh and vibrant
Mouthfeel overall: full-bodied, smooth, and balanced. Silky tannins and excellent structure make for a long, elegant finish. This is a stellar example of Chilean Carménère, spicy, earthy, and fruit-forward with finesse. Amazing quality for the price.
Pair it with: grilled meats 🥩, smoky veggies 🍆, or just sip and savor on its own under the stars.
¡Salud! 🥂

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.
