Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with medium intensity aromas of black and red fruits with herbs, pepper spice and toasty notes, has 12% Syrah in the blend, aged for 16 months in 10% new barrels. On the palate flavors blackberry and blueberry with notes of tobacco, pepper, dried herb spice with slight sweet tones. Well balanced, vivid acidity, full ripe tannins, full-body ending with toasty vanilla character. Very good, bottle age will benefit. Nice value!

Just ok, less spice and kick than other Carmenere I’m used to and on the lighter side than others. Can’t say I’d buy again.
